  • YAY! It Worked!

    From Nighthawk@21:1/146.1 to All on Sun Feb 18 20:05:30 2018
    Hello,

    I have found some issues upon loading Netfoss which were the reasons for the failure.

    Note to Avon: I was trying to call "ipv4.agency.bbs.nz", but for some weird reason Netserial was trying to call "ip4.agency.bbs.nz", suppressing the "v".

    I have modified FDNODE.CTL in order to dial "agency.bbs.nz" and managed to
    call Mutura HUB.

    Now I am downloading the thousands of echomail files... It will take a while
    to process everything and post a message. ;)

    Thanks for the info. I will check my DNS records tonight when I get home :)

    Actually it seems that your DNS Records are fine, to me it looks like NetSerial is "eating" the "v" in the query.
