    I am trying to connect FD to Mystic as part of an experiment to see if it's it's possible.

    No, because AFAICT, Mystic BBS as no serial routines in it.

    Hmm... this is testing via Telnet to that address right?

    Can anyone else confirm the issue?

    Can you also try 219.89.83.33 also using the same port 24558

    Thanks for the replies... I have just found a bunch of netmails from you and replied to one.. but it looks incoming packets from you intended for my
    770/100 address were directed instead to land at 3:770/1

    I'm just touching base with the up stream system I am connected to to check this out.

    Best, Paul

    Good that there is still movement in some projects.

    Such tasks take an extremely long time for me ...
    Actually I am extremely happy with my setup (HPT, BinkD, Golded+).
    But I want to try out some other things.
    But I will wait until FMail can be used with only JAM and with a config tool working on Linux.
    And I will also wait until FD has BinkP support on Linux.

    However long both takes ... I have time ;))
