Hallo August,

I use OpenXP only for Fido networks (Fido, fsxNet, tqwNet, SciNet).

From where are you getting Scinet? I wouldn't mind adding a few
echo from that.

I've used the application form in a SciNet infopack.
My Hub is the disksh0p bbs (diskshop.ca).
You can get the infopack here: https://scinet-ftn.org

Meanwhile, I replied to you FSXnet about a potential source for
getting DoveNet.

Thank you!

I did not realize that there was a whole website dedicated to that othernet. It's a beautiful work, and the info is well organized.

I did not realize that you were pointing off of your own bbs initially.

Maybe non-bbs/independent users are not part of the scinet plan. I will see.

thx for the info.

I've never been a hub or a boss node before, but I've got SciNet and am willing to give it a shot if you are.

I use Mystic & Bink if that makes any difference.

Shouldn't be a problem.

I could send you my pw preference via crash netmail as a
preliminary test/confirmation.

Sofar, I am connecting to boss systems that use binkd/1.1a-111
and binkp/1.1 that all use Synchonet.

One of them was briefly operating Enigma or Mystic, but switched
to Sychronet.

I had a situation in Micronet where I asked if I could come on
board as a point, but no one was operating one. The guidelines
seemed to be geared to assume sysop members only.

I thought that maybe SciNet was sysop-only too.

Anyway.. I am poised to get a point assignment. It's all good.

Each network has it's own thing. I had a lot of trouble finding a system in

All you can do is keep looking around.

I do have "Allow UnSecure = Yes" in my bink server config as well as "unsecure_dir = true" in my mailin.ini file. So it *should* be working, I've received direct netmail before from fsx as well as some direct netmails from fido when sending to ping@.

Not sure where the issue lays here... *scratches head*

All three seem to be direct netmails from Ogg.

It's point software with perks, like not discriminating with
other systems by mishandling established session pwds, it seems.

So the packet itself *seems* to be ok, there's no area on the message, but Mystic isn't seeing the message as netmail. Could it be because of the PKT password?

So the packet itself *seems* to be ok, there's no area on the message,

It's a quite simple program. It only shows the contents of the pkt and message headers inside the .pkt file. It skips the text part, including the kludges it contains.

but Mystic isn't seeing the message as netmail. Could it be because
of the PKT password?

No.

Just not sure what makes a netmail message.. netmail:

The only distinction is the AREA:XXX line an echomail contains as first line of the text of a message. And a .pkt file can contain both at the same time, and in no particular order...


Bye, Wilfred.

Hi August.

Thanks, I got both this and the direct netmail.

Good! So it seems that there is something wrong with OpenXP... Well, it
is a _point_ software. Points should send all mail via their boss.

It's point software with perks, like not discriminating with
other systems by mishandling established session pwds, it seems.

Even if there is an incorrect pkt password in the .pkt, why does Mystic think the message is echomail?

August, please send me a crash netmail to 2:221/6. I'll catch the .pkt before processing.

That would be a Mystic problem? :/

Are you able to receive netmail as netmail from other sources?

Whereas Tommi's netmail form before:

+ Jan 08 11:55:12 Process: Importing EchoMail
+ Jan 08 11:55:12 Waiting for BUSY nodes
+ Jan 08 11:55:12 Importing 901beb06.pkt (2:221/1.1 to 1:229/664)

OK.. so you're saying Tommi's netmails are being recognized as
netmails, but mine were not? (I say "were" because now that we
have a Boss-Point relationship, the problem has gone away?)

Perhaps someone else who runs OpenXP could drop some crash
netmails to you for further comparison?

You can always change it via Areafix zi believe.

Is OpenXP available for Linux? I want to experiment with point software with this setup anyway.

Correct, if you netmail me using your SciNet point address it'll come through, but if you send from another point it'll get tossed as bad.

Tommi's netmail came through no problem, it looks like he's using GoldED as an editor along with Husky/Bink to toss & send.

There is a Linux version you could play with.

Hop over to http://openxp.kolico.ca and look under "Get OpenXP"

And, I would highly recommend simply using the step-by-step walk-
through in the Quick-start guide. There are some distintions to
be aware up between the Win and Linux versions during install.

Well, I have this win32 version running. I still don't know how to send
crash netmail.

Never mind. :)

I'm not sure if those will work for me, This set-up is basically a Raspberry Pi, at least tge arrmf hardware. But I'll try anything once

Interesting. So, why was it failing when I did the same thing before that?
Did you tweak something in the meantime?

Maybe we can get Martin Foster to send a test a crash netmail too.

Or.. I could assign myself a temp address like 1:999/9999 (or one of the temporary ones in the nodelist) and send you a packet to investigate?

I'm not sure why Tommi's worked and yours doesn't. I've not changed anything on my end.

Yup, if Martin wants to send one my way, I'll certainly check to see if I get it.

That works as well. That may help determine whether it's OpenXP in general or maybe just your OpenXP? I'm really at a loss as to whats happening.

Yeah well, OpenXP shouldn't be doing this but this matter is being investigated.
