  • BinkD Issue

    From Al Kaiser@1:142/926 to All on Mon Jul 24 09:12:50 2023
    At times when I try to connect to my feed and it fails, I try again and
    the BinkD screen just "flashes" and no retry is made. I usually have
    to either reboot or come back in a day or so and BinkD works.

    Any one have any clues as to why this happens. I am running on a
    Windows XP system because that is the only thing my mail program work
    on.

    Thanks

    I believe 2.13.2.2 if I read the .cfg file correctly. Guess I should
    also mention that it is running on a Widows XP drive on a Windows 7
    computer because I am using Terminate and it never was written for anythting later than XP.


    I also check mail once a momth or so. Alwauys been more of a luker.

    Been around FIDO since the glory days of the HST Phone 34 then 56 K modems.
