(I even question that!) I finally got it up and running (Bink 256/250) and the only problem I seem to be having now is when I am polling a node. It will not pass mail and Binkley reports to press escape twice or wait a few moments to enter BBS. Then I get on the next line, "Didn't Respond". I have to abort out, entirely of the POLL. Well, If anyone has heard of this problem, please pass the buck this way, PLEASE? I beg of you... I have sent mail to Binkley Help - thier address on USENET is: f491.n343.z1.fidonet.org Just in case you want to beg them to help, too. Grady @ The HAM Connection (409)833-1795
