Are you 100% sure that there is not anything about fidonet in you binkd.cfg
(or the included config files)? If there is no fidonet AKA, you should get a
"(n/a or busy)" for fidonet too. But maybe I'm missing something.

 PH> Any ideas how I can ensure just the Zone 21 is accepted?

You cannot. It's a flaw of the binkp protocol (inherited from EMSI). The
moment you have a password protected session, the incoming connection can dump
anything in your ("secure") inbound. That is the reason we have pkt (and tic)
passwords.

You can configure some restrictions with the "skip" and "check-pkthdr"
keyword, but I'm not sure, if check-pkthdr secure would prevent it.
