I only use infozip here. But you have been switched to no compression anyways.
I had forgoten you were originally set to that already when setting everything
up with HPT.

Both netmails you sent me were marked as bad, with this error from pktinfo:

"18:36:49  CapabilityWord error in following pkt! rtfm: IgnoreCapWord.
wrong or no pkt

.. and exactly the same for the other netmail, which when I checked them in vim
noticed you had sent one with a 2+ packet header, and the other with a 2.2
packet header.

Earlier today, I enabled that option (IgnoreCapWord) and tried re-processing
one of your mails marked bad. It then processed the packet, but informed me
again that it was a bad packed due to being addressed to 1:154/10.116, which is
not an active point system anywhere that I'm aware of, especially here.

So either you're including something else in there that is even causing hpt to
dislike your 2+ AND 2.2 packets (I am not having any issues with netmail from
anyone else so far, 3-4 netmails with Wilfred yesterday, and quite a few
Areafix netmails today linking my two systems back together after a week of
separation), or there is something else.

I'm definitely interested in further testing to get this figured out, and thank
you for the two test netmails. I hope to see more so we can get to the bottom
of this!

Regards,
Nick
