Yes, it will.

It used to be far too busy - I'd often skip it altogether.

The fact I reply won't

The fact that I got it does ... :-)

I didn't see the msg from JdeBP mentioned in some other post (George
White 27-Oct-00 OS2 echo). The last msg I saw from George White in this
echo was on 21-Aug-00. I think George White and JdeBP are on the
same BBS of Vince Coen. So the problem is probably not very far from
there.

Here, there were none between 13 Oct and 28 Oct.

That's because for some reason that only he knows John replied in
OS2PROG to a message that George sent in OS2. (-:

[blush]

It's a fair cop govn'r :-).

Sometimes cutting n' pasting in a config file produces the results you didn't intend. Apologies to anyone inconvenienced.

And the fact that I got the reply I'm responding to in OS2PROG when
the original thread was in OS2 suggests there is a configuration
problem somewhere. Either at your end or with Mike Luther.

Yes, I spotted it as just after the msg went out.

I see no
problems with everything else going through Southern Star so I don't expect the problem to be there. I take it you're telenetting to Mike

Actually, I have a permanent link at the moment and am looking at options for using FidoNet over TCP/IP. I have a VMODEM link to Mike and a BinkD link to OS2NET. I'll probably drop VMODEM as soon as I can find someone in Zone 2 who will give me a BinkD link. Does anyone in the UK use BinkD?

- its still only (discounting the two stops at Mikes BBS and the two
at Johns) effectively four hops (+ the point access) from you to me
even with the transatlantic crossings.

Why is UK a requirement? ;-) I have binkp uplinks and downlinks already... all across zone 1 so far, but I don't see a big deal if it jumps to zone 2 as well...

The problem is _far_ from here :-). The message John replied to was
over in OS2 so either he or his immediate uplink have a configuration
problem.

If you are configuring Binkley then this discussion really belongs in OS2BBS, rather than OS2PROG.

Yes, I heard about the misconfigurations. Strange thing to do.

I do now have about 6200 msgs in this echo and I just don't want to loose the feed.
