fabolous!
that is totally normal, since i process mails on this ol'
computer in every 30 minutes .

Why not immediately after receiving the mail files?

its less effective to process 1 pkt in every second than to process 100 in every 30 mins. when i did immediate mail processing, it made a fork bomb, squish processess were waiting for other squish processes and then it just grew-grew, then 96MB RAM was not enough :)

this also adds to the nostalgia :)

Mwhoa, I think the people back then would be jealous of how fast mail flows currently! ;-)

this is why internet took over and this is why now i enjoy not getting everything asap. :)

You couldn't even notice the extra processing power that is spend. ;-)

Then you did it wrong... But if that is an unresolvable problem, you could proces mail like every 1 minute...


Bye, Wilfred.

i've tried the possibilities and this is the one which is the best.

Hi All,

In net 105: ,46,32-Bit_BBS,Forest_Grove_Or,Rob_McGee,-Unpublished-,300,CM,IBN:x-bit.org:24888
Node got a new system name and changed IBN port number.
Connect with: Internet Rex 2.31 Win32
I get a: "Got binkp error: Unlisted nodes cannot connect" error. I use a /999 nodenumber for testing. He's not a Host or Hub, so I suppose you can block those. But I hope he keeps the nodelist he uses for this current.

Connect OK with: binkd/1.1a-99/Linux. Presented system name is the old one though.

Isn't that a default setting in Irex?

But there is more. With a valid node number I get this:

I got the respons too within an hour. Great!

However... The respons did not show the VIA lines of the original message as specified in FTS-4001:
