Nick...

NB>As far as I know, you should just add the MO flag. CM is Continuous Mail,

NB>MO is Mail Only. So it's basically saying you don't run a BBS there. If you

  I am running the BBS, but even with changing IREX to "accept connects
from unlisted nodes", and with ports 24554-24556 open in the router,
folks are still getting "connect refused". I have no idea what else to
do.

  I was running Argus awhile back, when I had dial-up. But, since I
don't have dial-up anymore, I don't use it. But, I may have to look at
that to replace IREX for BinkP connects.

  One rarely sees a post from Charles Cruden, IREX's author,
anymore...and while one can still register it through various websites,
it's like any personal support is all but gone.
