Hello Vincent!

For quite some time now, connection to applewoodbbs.linkpc.com:24555 has failed, over and over. Has something changed in that internet address?

I changed the address to .net in the binkd nodes.cfg. Here's the result: ======cut======
11 Oct 14:13:14 [24462] connection to 2:25/21@fidonet failed: Connection timed out.
======cut======
Perhaps binkd did not detect the change in the address. <?>
I'll wait for an hour and see if that's changed.
