Hello All!

I'm getting bad packets from one of my hubs. I am sending them areamgr request using the  %help option, and it returns with the info but is marked as *.bad. Is there a way to tell why it's going bad? A log maybe?

Yes, sbbsecho.log (assuming you're using SBBSecho). Also, usually the *reason* for the bad-packet determination is in the filename, when echocfg->Global Settings->Incoming Bad Packets is set to "Rename *.reason.bad" (the default), again, assuming you're using SBBSecho.
