OK, Al did answer you already, just adding my two cents since I had troubles
with the latest A47 Alpha in the past (seems to be fine now). You seem to be
running A43, old but was functional. You mention things not coming in, one 
thing Al didn't tell you to check was for stuck fidopoll busy. I use a script
in mystic root (showing only the fsxnet part here):
#!/bin/bash
# busy - check for bsy flags
ls semaphore/*.bsy
ls echomail/out/fidonet/*.bsy echomail/out/fidonet/00010091.pnt/*.bsy
ls echomail/out/retronet.050/*.bsy echomail/out/retronet.050/025b0000.pnt/*.bsy

It should return:
ls: cannot access 'echomail/out/fidonet/*.bsy': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'echomail/out/fidonet/00010091.pnt/*.bsy': No such file or directory

If so it's not busy, but if it shows errors you need to do killbusy:
../fidopoll killbusy all
Then check again and it should be clear showing 'No such file or directory'.
Then do your fidopoll and stuff should come in. 

The fidopoll forced should be OK on A43, I remember that as a pretty stable
version as is A46 (current release). From my tagline you'll see I'm running 
the latest A47 Alpha which is working fine now on my Pi/32 and my Linux/64
(AlphaTest) system as well, I made the script above because some Alphas seem 
to have a lot of busy errors in the past and it was a quick way to know if 
I needed to do a killbusy. Any Linux users with issues with polling should try
it ;)
