Ugh. Yeah, you shouldn't follow those directions. Did you use the init-fidonet.js script as directed at https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:fidonet ?
That automates much of what any other directions have you do manually.

I got it and replied.

The log output (from your BinkP service) will tell you why it disconnects.

You'd better change your areafix password now. You pasted it as part of your log output here.

Looks good.

So "1:266/512@fidonet" is not necessarily the same node as "1:266/512". Which node do you have configured in echocfg->Linked Nodes?
