  • Is this thing on?

    From Rug Rat@80:774/40 to All on Tue Jan 13 21:13:08 2026
    Just a quick test..

    I posted a message in this echo on another C-Net BBS, and the message did not make it over here to The Rat's Den... So checking to see which end the issue is on.

    Okay.. How strange..

    My message made it out, but I still do not have the message from the other BBS. Though it made it here to ROF.

    Let's see if I get my response over at RAD-A..

    Testing continues...

    Okay!!!

    I think I have this thing sorted!!

    For some reason I did not have the RTN echo's +'d to be imported from my host.

    Also strange is that there are posts / responses in this message base on my system.

    Anyway, if this fixes it... I will not worry about it, unless it happens again.

    Thanks BUCKO for letting me use your BBS to test... :)

    Okay..

    I think I got this sorted.....

    Looks like the AREAFIX for all of my RTN echos toggled off on RTN's side (Wonder how long this has been going on.). I got lulled in to a false sense of security only checking to see if my messages were making it out to other boards.

    Just sent the AREAFIX request.

    I also discovered that the nodelist on the BBS was corrupted and I was not able to send email to ANY of my FTN networks. So killed two birds with one stone.

    OKAY!!!

    still working the issue.. Having connection issues on BinkD. Needed to update the Windows Server anyway.. So as soon as that is done and BinkD is reloaded we will see if the rejoin worked!!

    At least the nodelist's successfuly recompiled this afternoon....

    Why am I awake and unable to sleep at 0130!?

    Okay!!!

    I think I finally have this thing sorted!!

    Totally my fault, I was using the wrong set of AREAFIX commands.

    So... If this message makes it to The Rat's Den, it will all be good..

    It made it to the intended BBS (The Rat's Den Amiga!)

    So I am calling it good now.

    This test is closed....
