If you could have the link send me the equivalent BinkIT log output from those sessions, that'd help to determine *why* it's dropping the connection.

Or, it might be easier, if we just setup a link between us which we could use for testing IREX compatibility with BinkIT. Then I can monitor the logs and make experimental changes as needed. Maybe send me a netmail with the session password you want to use and you could pull echoes from me just as a test.
