The echo is still here, but I do not know if Charles still follows the echo or not. Just in case, I forwarded a copy of your message to him to see what he can do, if ANYTHING, about that.
Do you see this issue when someone connects to a binkit system using version 2.31 of Internet Rex?
2. We've since changed BinkIT to only send a 16-byte CRAM challenge to
resolve
the incompatibility, so unless we find a guinea pig running versions of IRex
*newer* than 2.29 and willing to experiment with a link running BinkIT,
we'll
never know.
Didnt realise there were newer versions of Irex (2.29) - if there is, happy to upgrade and test if useful.
1. No one is connecting to *my* mailer using Irex, this was was
determined through debugging a sysops issues with his links. The only version of IRex in use during this problem report was 2.29.

Any version of IRex newer than 2.29 is a beta version, not a release. 2.31
is
widely available, and there are a few of Charles' beta sites running a 2.67
beta.

Honestly, I don't know:

Well, if you have DoveNet on your system available via FTN, I would be happy to
give it a try since I run the Win32 and OS/2 versions of Internet Rex 2.31 here on my end.
I do have IRex 2.31 on my OS/2 system, so if you would like to try testing it, drop me a netmail. Incidentally, I'm interested to know if mbcico handles this situation properly, so I'd like to test that as well.

Be advised there is NOT a v2.67 of iRex, Beta or otherwise, unless som managed to patch one for whatever reason, obviously subject to malware

I don't currently, but I'd be willing to make them available. Just wou
to pick a good unused zone number. Any suggestions? :-)
Of course you can link without passing echomail (as a test) anyway.

I just polled your node and it seemed to work OK. No mail and no password so that is not much of a test.
I'm going to netmail you shortly so if you'd like to test either IRex or mbcico more we can do that.
I also run this on another port on my ArcaOS 5.0.2 VM as well, but I find that beta version to be unstable on the Windows platform. Then again, I was a beta tester (well still am apparently) since way back when I have a bellsouth.net email address :)
I'll increase the CRAM challenge length when you give the go ahead and we can see what breaks. :-)
That is good news! Is there still a beta team and any activity? I can
a lot of folks who would like to see a new version of IRex released.
I wouldn't mind setting up a link and testing IRex with binkit. If you
to do that netmail me, or email me at agianson{at}gmail{dot}com.

Hmm, you know there is a ViaMAIL out there for SL that is easier to use than
SLMAIL.
SLMAIL.
Easier how? It's been working fine since 1988. :)
