I got this thus everything you're done is working.  I've dound with sbbsecho
it's better if you use complete paths in the setup.  Less confusion.


 JH> I will double check the 'f' switch with binkd - correct?  (not
 JH> sbbsecho, help screen there doesn't mention -f option)

Don't bother.  It was tossed properly so you indeed have teh -f switch there. 
As I said, make sure in binkd.cfg where you specify the putbound folder, make
sure you add a '1' as that is your home zone.  You may also want to add,
although it is not needed, an origin line. Right now yours is blank.

To change it, go to ./scfg > Networks > Fido > Default Origin Line

Enjoy and good luck!!
