Hi Andrew,

That's correct.  There is a standalone BinkD server/client on 24554, the
standard BinkD port.  If you have not been instructed by me to pick up traffic
at filegate.net:24554, there will be no traffic there for "you". I only use
that port for some people.

I'll try to get to it ASAP.

There is a problem, yes.  I will get to it as soon as I can.  Meanwhile, as I
believe I've mentioned, those that pick up here do connect to those ports.

Sorry for inconveniences I may have caused.

Take care,
Janis
