A couple of examples from a recent call-out:

The first node was attempted using the "address method" of trying to connect rather than using the binkphost listed in sbbsecho.ini.

Do you actually have "618:250/19@micronet" in your sbbsecho.ini, or just "618:250/19"?

I have the "@micronet" for that node.
It would appear that the nodes that used the binkphost setting instead do not have the domain included on their entries. I took it off due to the issue I was having with tickit.

So if you remove the "@micronet" it works as expected?
What you called the "net/node method" is actually the "DNS method", so if you need more help (e.g. from deuce in irc.synchro.net), you know know what tocal
it. :-)

I left a message in there. It said umpteen people were in there, including deuce, but I don't think any of them were really there. Also, the instructions are so long and scroll by so fast it was very frustrating for a first time user to figure out what is going on or how to use it.
I left my email addy.

I am not sure about that. It appears to happen with nodes that have a flo waiting, but maybe only the ones with a flo and a domain.
Actually, the node in question had been able to poll here for mail until sometime this weekend. I did not change anything in the sbbsecho.ini file, and he apparently did not change anything on his end either (he is running binkp/d) but now he is getting CRAM-MD5 and/or bad password errors. His password is the same as it always has been on this end.
I tried updating exec earlier today... got a newer version of binkit.js but it still did not help.
Ironically, he has made an actual connection or two that was successful
amid more failures than I can count.
Does binkit log its activity anywhere? I have checked /data/logs and only see sbbs activity.
I removed his node entirely from sbbsecho.ini, so I would assume that
binkit should have no expectation about any passwords, yet here is what I see in the console from just now:
8/19 19:23:24 srvc 0066 BinkIT connection accepted from: 107.181.135.102 port 34712

So how does binkit know what to "expect" when sbbsecho.ini has the entry removed?
Many people (including myself) keep an IRC client open most/all of the time check it periodically for interesting/directed discussion.
I am an irc novice. I was using the built-in synchronet "client" via telnet I did not see any way to scroll back the conversation. So, I am wondering, you keep that one open and are not actively watching it, how can you see any directed discussion that might have scrolled-off?
There are several IRC programes you can use, I myself prefer hexchat and Irun
it on my Raspberry PI.
I have it running outwestbbs-bot on synchronet and outwestbbs irc channels. then I just VNC in and can read all that has happened everyday.

Most IRC users use dedicated clients however (e.g. mIRC on Windows) so you can IRC and BBS at the same time. :-)
just get something like hexchat.

Back in the day, I used mIRC so much that I ended up buying a
registration code for it. I think mIRC's registration codes are always valid for all future versions.. I don't use IRC much anymore though.

I also saw Blocktronics share a link to a Shooter Jennings interview on the Joe Rogan podcast in which he talked for several minutes about BBSes and IRC and stuff. I knew about the BCR Games server, but didn't realize he was also running an IRC server and other stuff. Logged in and checked it out today. Sure enough, Shooter does pop in from time to time.

Me too and I still use mIRC on Windows.
