You need to add another node section like this one for 618:100/1, updating the 
values with those appropriate for our link.

ie: BinkpHost = bbs.bnbbbs.net, Name = Andrew Leary, SessionPwd = <censored>, 
etc.

 BK> I do have a configuration 618:ALL which is pretty barren:

 BK> BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
 BK> BinkpAllowPlainAuth = false
 BK> BinkpAllowPlainText = true
 BK> BinkpTLS = false
 BK> BinkpSourceAddress =

I'm not sure that Synchronet supports such wildcard Node entries; this very 
well could be the source of your issue.
