Has anyone ever gotten binkd to succesfully work on the Amiga?
The one that Neil Williams uses seems pretty stable, most of the
time... (VER binkd/1.0a-542/Amiga binkp/1.1)
Bye, Wilfred.

Not a once.. I've tried BinkD and AmiBinkD and as soon as any sort of
file transfers start to take place it guru's the machine
I gave up as well. I now run BinkD on a Raspberry Pi and connect it to
my Amiga via a null modem cable. That and some scripting at both ends
make mail flow smoothly.

setup a win32 version of binkd, set it to use amiga style outbound
(aso) then used a path translation to translate amiga path -> windows
path .. 2 lines and everything works great

I'm looking for a similar solution: running the tosser on my Amiga
behind binkd on Linux.
But instead using some sftp/scp or whatever I'm thinking about using
some NFS or SMB share between Amiga and Linux for inbound/outbound.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup? Are there some pitfalls to expect?
Here's how I do it, and it works really well.
On a virtualized Linux machine (Ubuntu) I run Binkd and Crashmail II (check Github...). Binkd is the mailer and Crashmail II is the tosser. I handle all the mailing/storing/tossing stuff on that Linux machine and then offer that to the Amiga 2000 running my BBS via NFS. My BBS then
has a scripts that imports and exports all messages in the MSG format from/to the Linux machine.
Do note this: The Amiga (or at least my BBS software) read and wrote 16 bit values in the .MSG files in the big endian format which works fine with tossers running on the Amiga. Crashmail II on x86 and Linux uses
the little endian format which caused outgoing mail never to be found by the tosser. The developer of my BBS software fixed this - I'm unure if this is an issue with all Amiga based software packages. The same
problem arose when I tried to use the Crashmail tosser on the Amiga and then send the packages to the Linux machine where Binkd runs.
(sorry for late reply, etc).
since September of last year and it works flawlessly.. I do have a pdf file available explaining how to set up everything on my Amiga BBS.. If anyone wants the address I will post it..
Al, I'd love to have a look at your instructions. I've been trying to do this for ages. Thanks man. :-)

I know Bucko at the Wrong Number BBS has got BinkD to run on the PC side of an emulated Amiga. I and Future World II both use AmiBinkD. So it depends on what route you would like to go.
Hi Mick, I have the pdf file available on my Amiga BBS it is called NetworkSetup.pdf and it's in my AmigaBBS section. I am pretty sure new users can access it right away but if not I usually have access given
