Hi, Darryl-

MBSE has its own binkd built-in.  I have heard that Rex 2.31 has a buggy
binkp implementation but I cannot verify that myself.  I have two nodes in
my own FTN that are running the Windows version of 2.31 and I get this every
time from them:

! 25-May-2014 23:15:51 mbcico[12055] tty_read: error flag
? 25-May-2014 23:15:51 mbcico[12055] Binkp: receiver status Error
+ 25-May-2014 23:15:51 mbcico[12055] Binkp: session finished, rc=108
+ 25-May-2014 23:15:53 mbcico[12055] Incoming call failed (rc=108)
+ 25-May-2014 23:15:53 mbcico[12055] Terminated with error 108

That error 108 is a "file transfer error" according to the MBSE
docs.  I did
notice even on my OS/2 system that other systems running 2.31 would very
abruptly close the session and that would cause my 'Rex to complain.

Just as long as mail is flowing, that's what matters to me.

Later,
Sean
