subject: Bink/2 XR5 - Frontdoor

Hello all,

I have a downlink calling who is having a lot of trouble picking up mail.
She is using Frontdorr and gets constant retries:

-------------------
! 28 Sep 07:55:09.66 BINK Trouble?
! 28 Sep 07:55:09.72 BINK Resending from 49856.
! 28 Sep 07:55:11.34 BINK Trouble?
! 28 Sep 07:55:11.41 BINK Resending from 49856.
-------------------

Hundreds of lines of this, but eventually she gets her mail. Line speed
doesn't seem to make much (if any) difference as we've tried locking our
speed down. We use the same brand modem (hers is V34, mine V-Fast) which
connect just fine.

We both connect to other systems without problems but have all sorts of
problems with each other.

My CFG looks like this:
