Thanks Vince,

This had me stumped for a while - I had full verbose logging on and I was
trying to read the source to see what it was trying to do.

I did get it working, I changed it from fido:// to telnet:// and it worked a
treat. I was suspecting that MBSE was not calculating the checksum - possibly
because fido:// over TCP is by definition reliable? Anyway, using EMSI over
telnet was the thing.

MBSE didnt like the packets it got back:
? 19-Sep-2018 19:53:38 mbfido[45] Could not read header (46F05668.PKT)
? 19-Sep-2018 19:53:38 mbfido[45] bad packet header, aborting

But that will be the next thing to look at :)

Cheers

...deon
