    Hello Tommi!

    To test your binkd just send a file "test" to 2:221/6; the callback service will call you back!

    A question about your callback service...

    How do you get the IP for your return call? Do you do a nodelist lookup on the
    address, build a f.n.z.binkp.net, or use the IP that you connected with when you got the "test" file?

    I'm using the *H macro with exec line.

    Do you do a nodelist lookup on the address, build a f.n.z.binkp.net,
    or use the IP that you connected with when you got the "test" file?

    First try the ip address where the call is coming. If that fails, and the caller is nodelisted, then try the address in the nodelist.

    Ok, Thanks. I was asking because I thought my system had gone unreachable possibly because of a DNS update problem. I hadn't seen any incoming connects for almost a month, so I tried your callback service. Then I started wondering
    if it was a valid test for the problem I was investigating. As it turns out it
    wasn't valid. Since then I've had incoming sessions, so I know I'm OK.
