Does make sense...but am going to go ahead & send a few lines...since I know
of others who are working with TG or RG. Seeing the BinkD config messages
helped me to understand what was going on because it was out in front of
me...especially being a visual learner.

Can't remember the exact setting for a VM...but when I hooked up the Warp box
to another router which is on another network...can connect to the box at
this address: acmebbs.ddns.net:2666 for testing purposes. On the other
hand...when I had the box on the same network as my main box...could only
connect on port 23.

Not sure if this will help...but it solved the issue with connecting for me.
