The Bink mailer at 1/100 is quite quick to retry polling nodes with CRASH traffic... and my hunch is some systems may have auto blocked it because
of the quick succession of polls it's been making to some.
If you run Mystic can you please check that your system has not auto blocked the following IP addresses... and if they are in your blacklist please remove them and add them to your whitelist

I had an old sysop friend (I was his co-sysop) recently tell people that he's known me since 1200 baud.

Yup, same here! My family's fist PC was an IBM Aptiva with an internal 2400 baud modem.

Yeah mine was some external large looking thing with lots of winky
lights. I thought I was Matthew Broderick :)
My second modem (USR 14.4) was an external for that very reason. I just HAD to have those blinking lights! lol

I used to think my old computer was 2400 baud, but there was a 14.4
modem in it lol
I went from 300 to 2400 with my Commodore 64 running Image 1.2 to 4
USR Courier V-everything modems at 57600 for my TAG board.
The USR sysop support program helped with getting the modems
I'm not familiar with that program. Was it like a Sysop discount?

Hmm first modem I had was a Netcomm 1234a attached to an Apple IIgs. At that stage there were a heap of 300baud manual modems kicking around the fledgling cash converters stores... I bought one to play with, after I found out what they were... I left them like everyone else :)

My first BBS was set up in the 2nd bedroom that used as an
office in a 2 bedroom apartment. When the lights were off in
that room, the lights from the modem (I had a Suprafax with the
fireworks screen-saver) and the various pilot lights from all
the other equipment depicted a kind of three dimensional star-
field. That scene was beautiful and always put me into a pensive
mood.

has a user online. It looks pretty awesome!|07

I used to turn the modem volume down to L1 and leave the
door to the closet the BBS was in open. I'd hear the
fidonet packets tossing during ZMH and the overseas callers
dialing in during the wee hours of the morning.
Now, I have a router with ethernet link lights on the back
and status LEDs on the top that reflect off a wall at
night.
I have a switch to which a device is connected to each one of 8
ports. It pisses me off that the ethernet activity lights are
all on the back!

This reminded me of a video I watched a week or two ago
Brian Lunduke had a challenge to install linux onto things that didn't originally have linux on it
One of his youtube friends took up the challenge and installed a
Raspberry Pi INSIDE a Hayes modem, hooked up the lights, added modem
sound effects, and installed Mystic BBS. He also added a second linux machine into the box pretending to be the modem. If you log into that machine you can issue Hayes AT modem commands and it looks up into it's database of BBS'es and then pretend to emulate the modem connection and connect to an emulation of that vintage BBS. Another classic project
well worth watching.
