Hi g00r00,

That doesn't show in the binkd log file. Maybe it's possible to change that so
a more meaning full message appears in the binkd log file of the system that's
trying to connect?

Anyway, he had the Netherlands blocked in his badcountry.txt. Once that was
removed the connection worked... :-/ ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
