Subj : Fidonet - sbbsecho looks good... binkit timed events don't do anything

Hey all... re-visiting trying to get my Fidonet config running.  I believe I've
followed all directions in the wiki, and also referenced
http://time.synchro.net:81/fidonet.ssjs, although that's a bit outdated with
the synchronet version.  From the looks of it, my netmail to Rob "looks" like
it made it out, but any comms with my hub (like the latest %LIST attempt to
areafix@1/266:512) just seems to sit there.  The connection to the hub host is
established, but it just seems to disconnect.

Last time I checked with my hub, I got this:

"You are connecting fine without any password errors. I haven't seen any
packets as of yet."


Here's an except from the sbbsecho.log file:

Checking in the c:\sbbs\fido\outbound folder, I still have a .cut file present.
All the other fido subfolders (inbound, netmail, and nonsecure are empty)

Anyone have any suggestions as to where to look next?  I appreciate any
assistance!
