        Well it isn't quite right. but its not my end that is hosed. My
uplink's dearchiver which had worked for ages with my mailer got ILL and
was gagging on ARC packets. yet it would make them fine so my system got
the downfeeds but my upfeeds were not going out. He is working to fix that
to be in compliance with Fidonet Policies as a hub he is kinda stuck  as he
hubs for almost all of 1:142.

our Linux port of Squish has problems though. as I explained in another
message. I will summarize it here.
he asked me to try packing a netmail as zip. I went into squish.cfg and defined
Pack zip 1:142/928
saved the file and sent him a netmail. to my Dismay it used ARC anyway!
even though zip was defined in compress.cfg

Looking at compress config and seeing zip was in all caps I changed the line to:
Pack ZIP 1:142/928
No good! it didn't work either! it still made a ARC packet.

Has anyone else had this problem with the Linux port of Squish? What was
the solution?

Lastly the Secure verb in squish.cfg doesn't work. it does not enforce
strict password checking as it should.

So yes I am getting out but the Linux team still has to fix a few things as
does my uplink.
