Hi Digital,

On 2024-07-09 15:35:13, you wrote to smooth0401:

I guess that makes sense... that was what the other user was
experiencing
with this same hub a while back. (he was the one that got binkd to work
because of the aliases where binkit can't do that?)

I'll reach out to Michael and see what he can do. If not, maybe I can try
to get the binkd method working if you think that might be worth trying.

Thanks for all the info!

FTN domains are by definition a maximum of 8 characters in length, so "fidonet.org" clearly is an invalid FTN domain. And it's just wrong anyway.
The hub should fix that.

You're probably right. ;-)

But in the default configuration for binkd there is this section:

# Aliases to support known DNS domain zones
# (some people mix up the terms "FTN domain" and "DNS internet domain")
domain fidonet.org alias-for fidonet
domain fidonet.net alias-for fidonet

So if binkit can do something similar, you can still make connections work when others make mistakes.


Bye, Wilfred.

Sure, it would be possible for BinkIT to have some hacky work-around for misconfigured nodes, but if possible, it would preferable to just fix the configuration of the node in question.

So Michael was able to remove the .org and it seems to be getting further... it seems to be sending the packet, removing the .cut file from the outbound folder, but still not receiving any of the areafix responses (tried %LIST and %HELP) Here's the latest logs:
