Thanks for the reply, and for volunteering to help.  


I've not got it working, but have made great progress towards knowing what
the problem is.   As I'm not done beating on it, I don't want to go into
details here yet.  :)    Hopefully I can soon.

I've been getting a LOT of assistance, explanation, and test netmails from
another sysop, and will never be able to repay that kindness.  I think we
are onto something now.


In the meantime, please let me ask you a few questions.

From your statement above it appears that you and the other two nodes
involved all communicated via direct POTS polling.  True?

Is your system FD style or Bink Style?   and while we are on that,  what
was your frontend software then?

Here's one that may be difficult to get into postion to answer:   When a
netmail with a file attached is sent to your system, upon tossing it, and
reading the netmail,  exactly what appears in the subject line?
Just the filename.ext?   or a   fully qualified path+filename.ext  ?



Thanks


                                                ......Joe
