Good afternoon,
I am a hub for a QWK network. One of my connections, also a synchronet
system, is picking up packets here and, when his system tries to toss them, they are being marked as BAD.

I am about to ask him for additional information but thought I would ask if there are any likely causes for that? Also, I am not familiar with this
issue, so would the reason it gets marked BAD (and not tossed) show up in a
log somewhere?

Thanks!

Yes, the reasons for the bad packet detection should be in the log output.
