Hello Charles,
A second FIDOnet connection alternates between a timeout error
This mailer is not answering at the moment, offline maybe?
and a no route to host error.
DNS is setup incorrectly perhaps. You cannot solve either of these errors.
The third is for another network, and consistently gives a not
authorized error, even though my host an I have verified all the information is correct.
Hotdoged requires an MD5 handshake. If your host has an option for MD5 (like Mystic) ask your host to turn it on for your point.
I used the same data with Aftershock on the last 2 as well. The 2nd
still times out, but the 3rd connects and I receive messages, but apparently have nothing going out.
Not all mailers support MD5 (like BBBS). If your BOSS doesn't support it you won't be able to use Hotdoged with that BOSS.
I asked the BBBS author to include support for MD5 and he was agreeable but so far it hasn't happened. What the future holds I'm not sure.
Ttyl :-),
Al
