I dropped it for a long while when the message traffic was at it's
peak - it took me too long to check the mesages for interesting
content.

So I see :-). (edited by removing irrelevant material):

And the fact that I got the reply I'm responding to in OS2PROG when
the original thread was in OS2 suggests there is a configuration
problem somewhere. Either at your end or with Mike Luther. I see no
problems with everything else going through Southern Star so I don't
expect the problem to be there. I take it you're telenetting to Mike
- its still only (discounting the two stops at Mikes BBS and the two
at Johns) effectively four hops (+ the point access) from you to me
even with the transatlantic crossings.
