    Setting up new bbs to connect to my Mystic for exchange of echo mail, Mystic being the hub (uplink), I fidopoll to the downlink and get an Unable to Connect. So I go to the downlink and connect to Mystic and it connects.

    OK so be be clear your Mystic (HUB system) can't connect to another BBS (downlink as you call it) but the reverse is true?

    Just want to be clear about that bit first.

    And what software is the downlink system running?

    Thanks, Paul

    downlink was running dbridge and then I switched to Irex. However problem
    was resolved when I disabled the firewall. So I took another look and found the problem and enabled firewall and got it working.

    The other is my uplink. I can receive echo mail packets but can't connect to him so I am waiting on a response from him assuming he got the email I sent.

    Thanks Avon.
