The issue was with Squish for DOS.  I was attempting to run that here
after having issues with postie.  Squish for DOS was reading the squish
message areas, finding that there was no "punctuation" or space between
the end of the INTL kludge and the netmail message text.  This apparently
caused the last digit of the kludge to get lopped off, and caused the
receiving system not to recognize the sending node -- meaning the sending
node couldn't use areafix commands, for example.
 
I use squish on another BBS software.  It uses *.MSG bases instead of
squish bases and, in those *.MSG files, there is a <CR> between the last
kludge and the message text -- and areafix commands work.

I suggested there might be an issue, but apparently the issue is
something else.
 
apam made some other changes and now both talisman and postie work great
here, so I am no longer trying to use Squish for DOS.  It might be best
avoided.  ;)
