 St> I joined a new net, HobbyNet, the guy who runs it is new at this and runs
 St> Wildcat and Internet Rex.

I think it's going to be a matter of finding what works between your two tossers. You'll need to hear from your link about any errors and compare with your setup.

I have no experience myself with a Wildcat link, but Irex works OK all around although it's not perfect.. :)

 St> I can send packets out, but I get nothing back, not even a reply from
 St> Areafix. Could there be something I'm doing wrong? I tried with, and
 St> without a packet password. When I asked him if there is one, he said "I
 St> can't answer your question." Those were his actual words.

Your link is going to have to answer questions like "is there a password set for my node", and if he can't answer those questions your going to have a hard time.

The setup of links is not trivial and I can only suggest you keep on asking those questions and when you get an answer you can act on it.
