 Al> It sounds like your link has a packet password set for your node.

It indeed does and I have it set on his Echomail Node definition

 Node ID 4 (3:633/2744.188@FIDONET) k
  PKT Password    ********                                  1:General
  FIX Password    ********                                  2:SECURITY

Did check and by the top is the right password for the PKT.

I might have to ask him to disable the PKT pass for a while, it's a weird behavior tho.

Probably, I have not sent anything to him for Fidonet, but have to try that too.

Thanks
