This brings back memories of why I used FD! :) ;)  But with FTN over net seems
FD is out of the option list. :( And would require DOSBox or something to run
it anyway versus native and wouldn't probably be a good plan for my ultimate
choice to put my FTN mailer at least on a Pi

 AI> You could also try binkd -pP1:135/0 binkd.cfg. That will poll that node

$ sudo binkd -pP1:135/0 /etc/binkd/binkd.cfg
  07:24 [4210] BEGIN, binkd/0.9.11/Linux -pP1:135/0 /etc/binkd/binkd.cfg
  07:24 [4210] clientmgr started
  07:24 [4210] the queue is empty, quitting..

That is all I got!????! Doesn't seem right.... I would think I would see it
connect etc.. or the p option suppress that ?

Now if I run sudo binkd -pP1:135/0 /etc/binkd/binkd.cfg

it whines about being runnning already etc.. then if I do

sudo binkd -pP1:135/0 /etc/binkd/binkd.cfg

It actually POLLS the node....So I am now confused... (the loud banging you
hear is my head hitting desk! :) ;)  )

Well I am wrong the *buntu packages use init.d scripts to start this
automagically... not inetd

the thing starts and is lisetning as a quickie telnet from one box to the other
offers:

 telnet 192.168.0.21 24554
Trying 192.168.0.21...

-0400!VER binkd/0.9.11/Linux binkp/1.1 1:135/999@fidonet

So its listening....

I'll have to investigate things... I think there is some issues re permissions
to access stuff in the outb and/or inb and the setup of crashmail...


 AI> Yep, I remember switching from AMA to BSO... good times! :)

:( I am not having fun... yet! :) ;)

Thanks for the input! Keep it coming, please!
