I am able to connect to Agency without any problems. (using IPV4)

Your log is showing that it is trying to connect using IPV6, have you tried to see if you can connect using IPV4?

I am seeing the same here, I tried polling and couldn't connect. I'm sure avon will be on top of the situation pretty soon.

also, my game data for BRE is backing up. =P

Your log is showing that it is trying to connect using IPV6, have you tried to

I don't knowingly have IPV6 capability. I am assuming the DNS at my ISP
is default resolving to the IPV6. How would I force IPV4 usage here?

It is odd that I am able to connect to 21:1/100 but not /10.

Hey,

I've just pinged Avon via matrix to let him know of the two problems that I've seen or read about.

* The apodXXXX.zip files are 0 bytes in size
* Folks cannot connect to 1/10

He's out of town and back tomorrow, so it might be a day or two before he can look into it...

Hi there

1/10 is now back up, the BinkD server had locked up so a restart sorted this one.

I have yet to look into the other issue.

I'm sure I've told this story before, but back when I first started my
BBS on Telegard/FD, I went away for a week. Had a great time learning
XENIX at a class in Santa Cruz, CA on the California central coast. I'd
end up moving out there some twenty years later.

I got back in town, opened the door and heard, coming out of the BBS PC
speaker SOS in morse code. It turned out that shortly after I'd left,
the modem hung, FrontDoor couldn't reset it, it beeped out an SOS and restarted. 90 seconds later, it repeated.

My neighbors must have loved that.
