    Has anyone had a problem using both and connecting to a mystic BBS via
    blinkp?
    I seem to be having a problem when I send commands to Area & FixFix.
    When I
    do it gives me back line for line Area not found.



    Any help would be great. Thanks.

    No, Mystic's binkp mailer works quite well.

    Sounds like you are having an issue with areafix and not the mailer.

    Make sure your netmail to areafix is written from the right aka for that areafix.

    Any help would be great. Thanks.

    You might have to ask the sysop at the other end for help.

    I did have a look at that, I believe its something on my side as its
    happening on 2 BLINKP feeds I have coming from 2 differnet nets. My
    XPress works fine with another xpress I'm working with.

    Sound like your mailer(s) are doing the job but areafix is not connecting you to the areas for some reason. I'm not sure why that is, I'd ask your link there if he has any idea why.

    Thanks, I'll have a look with them next.

    Looks like I found the answer. (http://athelstan.org/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=fsx_mys&thread=11550)
    Looks like its an issue where my BBS may be siding a carrage retrun vs
    new line.

    It's BINKP (for Binkd Protocol), not BLINKP. There is no such thing as "BLINKP". I know what you mean, but you keep asking about BLINKP in several echoes, so I thought I'd clear that up for you finally.
