I'm at the tail of configuring FIDONET and I'm getting an error when polling using BINKP. I just received my node address from my RC and trying to finish the config. Not sure if this is stopping areafix sync. This is polling after sending %+ALL to areafix.

3/13 10:41:37a BINKPOLL Peer version: Internet Rex 2.29 Win32

** -> 3/13 10:41:37a BINKPOLL Peer ended their VER with " (binkp/1.1)" instead of the required " binkp/1.1", but we're assuming binkp 1.1 anyway

3/13 10:41:37a BINKPOLL Authentication successful:

3/13 10:41:37a BINKPOLL Timed event: '?binkit -p' returned 0

Nothing wrong there, it's just a warning message because the other end
is using Internet Rex, which is old/obsolete/garbage. The poll should
have worked normally despite that message. Did you get anything back
from the hub?




... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.

Looks good. That's just warning about your peer not conforming to the BinkP protocol spec.
