Avon,
Is something amiss with the binkd server at 21:1/10? I have this system pointed there to transfer game packets. Binkd on this end is reporting
the following:

$ -i 21:1/10@fsxnet
+ 18:25 [14490] call to 21:1/10@fsxnet
18:25 [14490] trying agency.bbs.nz [219.89.83.33]:24557...
$ -i 21:1/10@fsxnet call
$ -i 21:1/10@fsxnet call
? 18:28 [14490] connection to 21:1/10@fsxnet failed: Connection timed
out ? 18:28 [14490] socket: Address family not supported by protocol
18:28 [4338] rc(14490)=0

If I try to telnet to agency.bbs.nz on port 24557, I don't get a
response. I do get a response if I telnet without specifying a port
(i.e. on default 23).

I apologize in advance if there was a change that has already been
covered. I may have missed it being away for a couple of weeks.

Thanks!!!!

I can verify the binkd daemon is responding over here.

The address family error message is typically seen when connecting using the wrong protocol or an address family / listener is not available.

Check ifconfig or ip addr on Linux and see if you have an address missing or misconfigured.

I believe it is a bug in binkd 1.1a-99 and previous versions. There was some problem with non-standard port numbers.

As a workaround you can try something like this first:

node 21:1/10@fsxnet -pipe "nc *H *I"

Just put it in binkd.cfg or binkd.inc.

For an upgrade you can compile the debian source package or from https://github.com/pgul/binkd

Yep there was it had locked up but have restarted. I posted the other day
about it but it looks like my BBS also opted to have a fit and not export the messages (I think).
