   That's correct.  There is a standalone BinkD server/client on 24554, the   
   standard BinkD port.  If you have not been instructed by me to pick up traffic   
   at filegate.net:24554, there will be no traffic there for "you". I only use   
   that port for some people.

   I'll try to get to it ASAP.

   There is a problem, yes.  I will get to it as soon as I can.  Meanwhile, as I   
   believe I've mentioned, those that pick up here do connect to those ports.   
      
   Sorry for inconveniences I may have caused.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
