    Hi Mark,

    I tried Netmailing you. For some inexplicable reason your point keeps trying
    to send something to me but we do not appear to have any addresses in common.

    i'll have to see if it is on the main system...

    For some inexplicable reason your point keeps trying to send something
    to me but we do not appear to have any addresses in common.

    it is trying to connect to 1:1/130 for something...

    what's FPNP all about?

    why do i have a FPNP.TMP file in my DB directory that looks like a binkd.conf but with a 1:1/130.999@fidonet address in it?

    in my data/fidonet directory i found a flo file pointing to nandre/FPNP-PKT.000
    that looks like it contains some sort of version checking request...

    i've deleted them now so all should be well until it decides to try a version check again ;)

    It means you really need to upgrade that point system to the latest version.

    FPNP is a leftover from a LONG time ago with something I began to write but did not quite finish, called Fido plug and play, automatically assigning addresses for Point systems. Also if you elected to connect to my system for updates notifications.

    why do i have a FPNP.TMP file in my DB directory that looks like a binkd.co but with a 1:1/130.999@fidonet address in it?

    Because the way that worked was using a completely different BinkD configuration to contact my system.

    in my data/fidonet directory i found a flo file pointing to nand e/FPNP-PKT.000 that looks like it contains some sort of version checking request...

    It should not even be doing that. Please update that point to the latest version on my website.
