Hiya Dallas..

Leave it in then... either way.. :)

That's strange... I can see if it was a POTS connection but binkd? OK.. :)

I just so happened to read Joe's reply to you regarding transfer protocol and
he maybe onto something.  IRex reports 1.1 but only connects at 1.0.  Check to
see if your links are trying to connect with 1.1 in your logs.  

Be well...
