   Everyone,   
      
   I am the hub in question, and heres what I see:   
      
   - I download and install Mystic from the Mystic website... A46 I think.   
   - Configured it with primary address 1:229/426.93 and the uplink 1:229/426.   
   - Configured a dummy echomail area between the two systems.   
   - Post a local message from .93 and have MUTIL export, MIS POLL SEND to me.   
      
   When I use Pktview (util from '94) to view the packet sitting in Mystic's   
   outbound before its sent here, the packet header is showing as being from   
   the address 1:65535/426.93.   
      
   The negative Net display here is simply a cosmetic problem for me to deal with   
   but the unusual Net-value generated by Mystic in the packet header is not.   
      
   I am not a Mystic expert or even aware if I am using the latest version but   
   this is what I have discovered in less than a half-hour of testing.   
      
   This system feeds over a hundred downlinks; many are Mystic systems trading   
   packets here like clockwork. This is the first time I've seen this problem but   
   do not believe I have any Points running Mystic.
