Hey guys :)

Just a heads up NET 2 is now polling NET 1, 3 and 4 using BINKPS (SSL) sessions. Previously is was a mix of BINKP and BINKP between this HUB and others but I've shifted it to use BINKPS for the meshed links between 1,3 and 4.

Best, Paul

Hello Avon,

Just a heads up NET 2 is now polling NET 1, 3 and 4 using BINKPS (SSL) sessions. Previously is was a mix of BINKP and BINKP between this HUB
and others but I've shifted it to use BINKPS for the meshed links
between 1,3 and 4.

Coolness. I have been transfering with hub 4 over TLS for a good long time now and as far as I know it's all working well.

As far as I know also those issues we had talked about around changing mail in transit are no longer an issue from what I can see from where I am. There has not been a lot of testing that I know of and that is what is needed now.

On a side note I am seeing some short paragraphs in DOVE-Net. It looks to me like there are some paragraphs being trunctated in QWK mail the way it was in FTN mail at around 255 characters. Perhaps that's something we need to bring up with g00r00 but I need to confirm that with QWK folks to be sure I'm not talking out my buhind or something.

But yeah, FTN looks good and tight right now.

Ttyl :-),

Good to know.

Yeah NET 1 has also been linked to the HUBs 2,3,4 using the Mystic SSL
feature for some time now, no issues with the uniform build those systems are all using which is good.

Yep thanks, I thought this also. Nice to get the confirmation.

I know little of this area so yeah if you suspect something you could flag it with James or Rob to have a look at :)

But yeah, FTN looks good and tight right now.

Coolio... nice chatting with you Al.

I can confirm that as well. I had brought it up to g00r00 awhile back, and didn't get any response from him. As I carry Dovenet directly, and via Fido,
I can see the differences between the messages.

Thanks for confirming. I'll post in the MYSTIC area and hopefully he'll catch it and have time to look into it.

The HUB is not contactable at present. I'm working with Solaris to see if we can unblock the blockage :)
