- Please forgive the above quotes, but this could get technical, so we need a
- good base to start on? (I even question that!) I finally got it up and
- running (Bink 256/250) and the only problem I seem to be having now is when I
- am polling a node. It will not pass mail and Binkley reports to press escape
- twice or wait a few moments to enter BBS. Then I get on the next line, "Didn't
- Respond". I have to abort out, entirely of the POLL. Well, If anyone has
- heard of this problem, please pass the buck this way, PLEASE? I beg of you...
- I have sent mail to Binkley Help - thier address on USENET is:
-
- f491.n343.z1.fidonet.org
-
- Just in case you want to beg them to help, too.
