    I seem to also only be having this problem with BBSes running Mystic BBS software. Any help would be great.

    That version is many years old so I cannot help them or fix any issues. They will need to upgrade. If you are able to find issue with a current version please let me know and I will take a look right away.

    I am currently using Wildcat! Winserver with
    Platinum Xpress as well as running Internet Rex 2.31 to connect to
    various nets. Any of my nets that use VMODEM I have no problem with
    however the nets that I use BlinkP for (Intrnet Rex) I am unable to do
    any areafix or filefix requests from. As an example below is what I am
    getting returned with valid commands.

    INTL 1:267/331 1:267/TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46

    Thanks, I will see if they can upgrade. Its happening on 2 of my feeds,
    both come from Mystic BBSes.

    As an interesting side note, I do have a MysticBBS setup and was able to
    use that to send the areafix command and it all came back properly. So
    I'm wondering if wildcat is sending a \r or \n or both that may be
    throwing it all off?

    I think that was exactly the bug, so that sounds likely. I can't remember the exact details but I think if it was a CR+LF and not just a CR Mystic was failing to properly parse Areafix. And it must have been in A46 since that is what they are using.

    Should be fixed in A47 and A48 though.

    John, I run both Mystic and WINS/PX here. What version of Internet Rex are you
    using? And what version of Mystic is your uplink using?

    It would not be PX as I do not have that issue with my similar setup here.
