    Hi Alex.

    I found an interesting thing.. I polled with Taurus your port 60179, IFC, but the connection was established as binkp.

    Oh, your Taurus probably had a brain fart. But I have to admit that once upon a time my Radius made an accidental POTS call to Kiev and getting a hydra connection, and being offered a chat option on the back channel. :-D

    Does Alex read here (now?). Hi Alex!

    Or two argus clones were smart enough to handshake the best common protocol? I haven't used Argus/Radius/Taurus so much in the past so I wouldn't know.

    How many hours did you chat over the POTS connection? :-)

    Let's see. :D

    This was Argus-related thing, not Alex-related thing, so I posted it only here.

    My node connects with Scott Little's Argus system many, many times a day but always on the binkP port, though there were some recent telnet connects as I think Scott was experimenting. I don't know much either.

    Fairy 'nuff. I was pleased to see a new Radius user. I've since had a look at
    the discussions in that other echo. Thanks, Tommi.

    After a series of much-needed backups yesterday afternoon I tried the subj Radius on my main node (~/384) for about two hours between 1600-1800, my time.
    I couldn't figure out why traffic suddenly reduced, even for a Sunday. Then I checked this node's log file, which was choked up with errors from attempts to contact that Radius, which all along, was still happily dealing with your node's polls together with those of a couple of other links. It just didn't like _this_ node's (binkD?) polls, after the initial first or second successful
    polls.

    The error presented was like an old one involving a 2004/2005 Radius build. It's an error reported in a _calling_ node's log as a "got M_BSY: Too many servers are running" entry, numerous times. Oops. That was the only glitch seen during the test run.

    Needless to say, I've returned to using the trusty last official release, "Radius/4.010/21.01.2005,13:56(Final-Release)/Win32 binkp/1.1". No problems.

    Did your test node present any hiccups during your testing?

    I never used that Radius/Beta in real business. Only in my test setup but I haven't noticed any hiccups.

    Taurus from that website is running at 2:221/6. Not very much traffic there because binkd runs in port 24554 and Taurus binkp in secondary unlisted port 24555.

    You won't on that node. And may never ever notice as there is no indication there's a problem. It will be other nodes calling it that may have trouble(s).

    Mmm... I've found that binkD still monitors 24554 even when pointed at 24555. But maybe that goes for perhaps the older Linux VirtualBox doo-hickeys I have, running old binkD builds (1.1a-551?/1.0a-95?/0.9.5?). Do you use some other facilities of Taurus, special enough to keep running it?

    Not really, it is there just for fun. But sometimes there may be need for IFC connection, so it's nice to be ready. ;)
