  • possible causes of 255

    From Rick Smith@1:105/10 to All on Sat Jan 14 12:38:28 2023
    Greetings All!

    I am helping a new node get hooked up to my hub. Looking at logs he appears to connect fine with SBBS and receives pkts from me, however on his end (SBBS) he gets "FIDOIN Timed event: FIDOIN returned 255" by the looks of it he is on windows. Not being that great at trouble shooting SBBS I suggested to check to make sure his passwords are correct and in the right spot and so on.. Wondering if anyone else has something to check, or if this is a common setup mistake that people make etc. Any help appreciated.

    The FIDOIN timed event runs sbbsecho, so he should be looking at his data/sbbsecho.log file for clues.
