• Echoes and QWK packets

    Moving to a local base where it is probably more appropriate...

    When I tried it I saw that same DROP message got through so possibly it
    just took a while for that to get done. Either people stopped posting
    there after that or it worked.. B)

    Maybe I'll try another or two..

    Sounds like it worked. ;)

    I think there are either a lot of conferences with no messages being
    added at all or ones I used to get were somehow dropped. I can join
    any of them again if I wanted of course, but there are a few on the
    go here that keep me busy.

    It could be you used to get them when they were active and now they are
    not. Lots of FIDO echos appear dead, and some are, but others will spring
    to life, at least for a while, if someone posts something in them.

    I did try another last night so I'll be watching to see if it drops.

    Yes, I realized that. Some echos go for ages with nothing added to them.
    I have no idea how many are active for me that are just not being used.
