    Fsxnet as a net? No, as I can connect fine to my Fsxnet feed for mail and files. Could one or both of the systems you referenced being having a
    problem? Possibly.

    Seems it would be prudent to contact one or both systems to acertain their status. Either via netmail IF connecting is still possible or email if a
    direct connection isn't possible at the moment.

    As Jeff said, it's not a general fsxnet problem. From the info you provided it's not clear what kind of busy error you are getting. It could be a .bsy file
    on your machine, which would prevent Maystic to connect at all (look in the oubound directory) or it could be a remote busy error (The connection is established, but then the remote sends an M_BSY command and disconnects).

    If we should forward a message from you to one of the nodes let us know.

    Thanks for the help now fixed I found 2 .bsy files in the echomail out directory I assume they should have been cleared down as part of a mutil mailin
    routine. I also found a .fol file and a .sue file Not sure what those are for

    Any way thanks to all including Avon and Dan

    Regards

    Occasionally Mystic here has had an issue with stale .bsy files. When the problem occurs it is related to a dropped connection from a non-Mystic remote system that incorrectly ending the connection. In the interim I have added language to my bash file(s) that control Mystic functions to manage the .bsy files.
