Digital Man, any more thoughts on this? It seems like BinkIT is not recognizing
that there is an inbound ".req" netmail, and doesn't trigger the FreqIT functio
n.
I looked at freqit.js and see that it "loads" fidocfg.js and freqit_common.js.
That second one requires filebase.js, and in that last one I see a comment refer
ence regarding an "unnecessary shim for the new Filebase class". Just a wild gu
ess, but did the new 3.20 filebase break something?
For anyone else reading this, does ANYONE running SBBS (with BinkIT) have a work
ing FREQ function that could maybe share some setup/config info?
Thanks in advance!
