Ok, sounds ok so far for the mix of binkd and TrapToss.

Very strange, if I take a look in the directory Outbound from my old
installation back in 1998 all these files exist for Fidonet and the Aminet node 
in Outbound.
..FLO
..MO0
..REQ
..HLO
..MO1
..MO2
..SA0
The only thing I have done with the config files for TrapToss is to change the
node address from my old one to the new one, I may have missed something that
I'm not aware of.

Yes it does, since I got the 113 binary for binkd, connecting is no problem.


 WvV> Bye, Wilfred.
