Heya Mr. g00r00,

I'm not sure if this is just a FastEcho thing, but it can't seem to process ping reply or traceroute packets generated from Mystic.  I can get ping replies back from Synchronet & Husky systems and they seem to process ok.

Ping replies I get from Mystic generate this error in FastEcho:

Here is Mystic receiving an in transit ping:
