BF>>> Correct. I don't want that race between mailers.
TK>> I don't see any problem with that. Sharing one common BSO even TK>> between multiple computers works ok.
BF> So, what happens when both mailers happen to call at the same time?
The first session goes fine, the second one gets "AKA BUSY" when there is a mail session going.
You can also tell binkd to poll and Argus not to poll.
TK>> That's too bad. You have mail for a node but the node cannot get TK>> it by polling your system.
BF> Why is that bad? I only accept downlinks that I can send crash to. BF> If their system is down I change to hold and manually copies the mail BF> until they collect it. Nobody has complained about it so far.
For example, if my main internet connection goes down and I use 3G/4G for backup, I cannot accept inbound calls... And you are in Piteå and cannot do manually anything.
"Manually" is a swear word. A proper fido system runs 100% automated. Sysops only monitoring.
BF> Well, except Benny, but he's complaining about everything, it seems...
