M> 1) What do I put as the BinkP host?

You can lookup the host from the nodelist if you don't know it.

Hmm, Mine is 8 chars. I know the packet password is fixed at 8 chars in the  
packet spec.  I guess the session (aka binkp) password could be longer. The  
areafix password is just for you to type into email messages you manualy send  
to areafix.

It's in networks.json (in data dir), I don't think we save the session  
password to a char[], so likely could be bigger. Most folks use the smae for  
all (I don't think fsxnet uses packet passwords), so I marked them all 8 in  
size.

Let me know if it works making it bigger in the json, or feel free to edit it  
in wwivconfig to allow 12 chars or something.
