================================
Greetings John!

 JG>>      Stay away from Mystic then!

 RW>> Well, unlike yourself, I know where to find the docs and who to ask
 RW>> for help.

 JG>      Yeah, I wouldn't expect you to be able to read the actual
 JG> messages I actually asked several times.

If I did, I'd probably leave the area in disgust over your apparent
stupidity,.

 JG>   Part of the problem was his software was so buggy, it wouldn't
 JG> actually make it out.

According to him, you never asked why?

 JG>      I even asked in other networks.  Funny how everyone can read one
 JG> or
 JG>      two messages and draw conclusions that are more accurate than
 JG>      someone who actually sees the messages in every echo envolved.

Yes, that's a phenominon known to those who're experienced in the use of
fidonet software.

 JG>      I have to laugh though, because several people have posted
 JG> messages
 JG>      since then that state they had the exact same problem occuring
 JG> and
 JG>      are asking him for a solution.

Does Mystic have documentation telling the user how to implement it?
Reading the docs is the first order of business, then you config it.

 JG> But golly gee, there never was a
 JG>      problem according to him, it's just an error in configuration.

He, of all people should know.

 JG>      One guy's got messages getting corrupt out the wazoo,

Bob Starr.

 JG>  another
 JG> can't
 JG>      connect to Marc, and several others are having weird point
 JG>      problems.

Where can one find this BBS software?

 JG> You know, you can read the docs, go online, find what
 JG>      you want, but when his BBS strips the points, has buggy binkd
 JG> code,
 JG>      and screws up the message bases, there's no configuration that's
 JG>      going to fix it.

You're saying that it doesn't have 4D addressing, binkd code that doesn't
work and somehow tosses echomail so that it is unusable? Would it be the
same BBS software that has plagued fidonet with echomail from last year
being resent into the system?

 JG>>     up and could swear every other word they said was the F word!  I
 JG>> thought
 JG>>     she must have been upset beyond belief at who she was talking
 JG>> to.
 JG>>     That was her husband, and she was speaking what she called
 JG>> 'broken english'

 RW>> LOL! She was telling you the truth.

 JG>>      Yup, gone is the 'ozone', and now the z5...

 RW>>> I'm all for that.

 JG>       I won't loose any sleep if you toss off the Zone 2-4 either!

You should. The demise of Z5 has brought the Z2 conivers to the brink of
taking over Fidonet and eliminating Z1 and Z3...if they're successful,
your Mystic BBS software won't work, since it is already having problems
with 4D addressing.


    Have a day!
