   It's almost always a password problem when this happens.  You'll have to   
   carefully check if they match on both ends.  Packet and session passwords.   
   There are also passwords for Areafix and Tic files, although those   
   wouldn't prevent connection for mail.  In the nodelist it shows that you   
   use a non-standard port (24555) for your BinkP, and that he uses the   
   standard port (24554).  Are the node definitions on each end saying that?

   You're the NC for Net 124.  You don't routinely monitor logs for activity   
   and/or problems/issues?  I find that almost impossible to believe.  I don't   
   know where logs are kept on a Mystic system, but it should be easy to find.

   When troubleshooting, assumptions are a bad idea.
