Hi Robert!

     I've tried using JAM message bases before but have only been able to
use them with Crashmail II.  For this node (1:120/545), I originally had it
running with MBSE but figured that was over kill.   Switched to using
Crashmail II, because I already knew that it could handle the message
bases.  However;  since Crashtic hasn't been ported, I've been using htick
for file areas.   I've used HPT before (nodes & points), so tried using
HPT with the JAM mesasge bases but it's never worked for me...

    I was not able to get HPT to create & use a JAM message base
either;  it's why I went to useing Crashmail II for such messagebases...  
(No problem using HPT with *msg or squish message bases, btw...)


 RC>   Can you detail the issue(s) you were having?

    Essentially;  incoming packets wouldn't be tossed & outgoing
packets wouldn't be created when there were known new messages.   (For the
outgoing messages;  when I switched it back to Crashmail II, the messages
scanned out with no problems...)   No error messages that I recall, or
anything else.   Not sure if it's a config issue (defining the message
areas incorrectly) or if the version I'm using can't actually read/write a
JAM message area...

    Changed this node back to Crashmail II because I need it to work
without problems (it's IP only & remotely hosted...), and haven't had a
chance to do any further troubleshooting here on this system or at home...
