    Hiya Dan....

    I've got a question that has been a thorn in my side for a few days
    now.

    I'm set up via FTN for SportNet. I'm polling directly from 24:24/1. I
    am set up as 24:150/1 in SBBS, SBBSEcho, and IRex. When SBBSEcho
    creates a mail packet to send out, it names it 17ee0001.*. If my understanding is correct, shouldn't it be 007e0000.*?

    What's happening, is 24:24/1 isn't able to open and import the messages
    on his end. I'm receiving mail in all areas just fine, but nothing from
    my system is getting past 24:24/1. I've gone through everything I can think of, and can't figure it out. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

    I sent you email on this. Being your running FD Attach, sbbsecho will create a *.MSG and a *.PKT. The problem is you're sending the netmail but nothing is attached. I explained it all in the email.

    Hi there.

    I've got a question that has been a thorn in my side for a few days now.

    I'm set up via FTN for SportNet. I'm polling directly from 24:24/1. I am set up as 24:150/1 in SBBS, SBBSEcho, and IRex. When SBBSEcho creates a mail packet to send out, it names it 17ee0001.*. If my understanding is correct, shouldn't it be 007e0000.*?

    Packets (*.pkt, *.?ut filse) can actually be named anything. I think
    what you're referring to are bundle filenames. SBBSecho using the
    Binkley style of bundle naming. The key for that bundle naming is here: http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:fidonet_files#bundle

    What's happening, is 24:24/1 isn't able to open and import the messages on his end. I'm receiving mail in all areas just fine, but nothing from my system is getting past 24:24/1. I've gone through everything I can think of, and can't figure it out. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

    Does 24:24/1 provide you any more details on *why* they import the messages? I doubt the bundle filenaming is the issue.

    He's using sbbsecho as FD/Attach rather than Binkley style.

    I'm getting the *.msg but nothing is attached.
