Hello Charles,

 CP> A second FIDOnet connection alternates between a timeout error

This mailer is not answering at the moment, offline maybe?

 CP> and a no route to host error.

DNS is setup incorrectly perhaps. You cannot solve either of these errors.

 CP> The third is for another network, and consistently gives a not
 CP> authorized error, even though my host an I have verified all the

Hotdoged requires an MD5 handshake. If your host has an option for MD5 (like
Mystic) ask your host to turn it on for your point.

 CP> I used the same data with Aftershock on the last 2 as well. The 2nd

Not all mailers support MD5 (like BBBS). If your BOSS doesn't support it you
won't be able to use Hotdoged with that BOSS.

I asked the BBBS author to include support for MD5 and he was agreeable but so
far it hasn't happened. What the future holds I'm not sure.

 Ttyl :-),
