    The part that doesn't work is outgoing mail/netmail. The packets
    just sits there in the outgoing folder and Binkd on Linux doesn't
    touch them. I force a connection to the node that's supposed to
    recieve the package and nothing is sent from my end.

    do you have "send-if-pwd" in your configuration? that says to send mail only if
    the session is password protected... no password protection, no transmission of
    files... disable or remove that option if you have it set and try again...

    I got hold of Amibinkd version 9.00 and it still crashes after a few hours, on both my Amigas (68020 and 68030). So I caved and brought my

    Did you give it enough stack before running amibinkd?

    My memory might be rusty but I rember having to use 500000 stack on the binkd for the amiga.

    If your still having trouble, I also have a "fixed" version that was sent to me by the auther of Zeus BBS for the amiga.

    I'd have to get the old girl (A4000/040, cybergraphics etc...) of the shelf and see if she'll fire up.

    it is doubtful that binkp (the protocol) will ever support EMSI (another protocol)...

    It's v48.0 for both. As I'm writing this the Amiga has been up and running with
    Amibinkd 9.00 for almost 30 hours straight. A new record.

    I found a later version of ixemul.net, v63.something, which seemed more stable at first but produced it own set of interesting problems so I switched back.

    I did say my memory might be rusty. I would still be running the bbs on my amiga, if it wasn't for the bugs in
    some of the software.

    It still is.

    Turns out, if you give Amibinkd a larger stack than 50000 it crashes within hours. I found out a few other things that actually seems to be keeping it running properly.

    1. Disable disk logging.
    2. Minimize on-screen logging.
    3. Use a stack of 50000, no more, no less.

    With those restrictions you might as well not run it.

    Well. It works. And if it works, I don't need any logs. So there.

    you are not thinking properly, benny... binkp is a PROTOCOL... it will not support another PROTOCOL like EMSI...

    perhaps you (still??) miss the point?? there is a huge difference between binkD
    and binkP... the former /might/ support EMSI one day but that is extremely doubtful... the latter won't support EMSI...

    i will keep my qico problem

    enjoy it :)
