Howdy,

: O : The following node(s) have been marked DOWN:
: : * 21:3/136.0 (V1ntage BBS), last seen 30 days ago

I have no issues with connecting to his system via fidonet or amiganet.

Yes, thanks.

Clrghouz would have sent him a netmail via fidonet (thus via you), and it seems he's polled in and collected the queued mail...

That said, Tom, your hostname and port timeout - which means clrghouz is either blocked by a firewall or the details are incorrect. I've changed you to HOLD.

You can revert back to CRASH once you update the details (or open the firewall if its that).

Looks like I got this on August 9:

And have been getting this ever since:

What is your IP address? The polling too frequently will comes because that IP address is polling > 5 times in a 60 min period (or that's should be what's happening).

If it's the same IP as your other BBS, I'll make a change this side so its not that strict on you.

For NRTG it'll be 99.244.153.113, it's technically dynamic but that hasn't changed on me in years *knock wood*.

Since you are using binkd for that, you probably want to look at the binkd fail options. There is one that counts how many times it retries, and the other being the time between failed retries.

try 2

IP routing? That would be a question to Tom. If I had routing issues, I'd have problems connecting to the other nodes.
