-> Ummmm, not frontdoor because it's a DOS based mailer... BUT I'm sure you an
-> with Windows based mailers...

-> I use to go from BGFax Win32 to WC5 back in the day... I bet some answers could
-> be in a BGFax doc because the transfer of a call from that program should be no
-> different.  You just can't mix DOS with windows stuff...

Thanks, I will check the documetnation for BGFax.

-> An other thought... did you know Digital Man, of SynchroNET fame, wrote a small
-> app called SexPOTS, I think, and what it does is takes a call, itself, or can
-> take a hot call passed by a mailer... and send that call via telnet to whatever
-> address you want the call.

I am using a virtual modem (COM/IP and NetSerial) so I am hoping to do
it with as few interoperability layers as possible.

-> BTW, I know it's your money... but for a 100 bucks you can get the mailer and
-> echomail tosser companion for the BBS package.  Santronics has a sale every now
-> and then and mark down the prices ...

I'd prefer not to spend any money.

-> Anyway, Look at the BGFax docs and see how they did it, I did it 25 years ago
-> so I know it can be done... Look at SexPOTS and Bink Win/32 as a possible
-> solution... Or spend the 100 bucks and get a complete package...  If you were
-> going to spend the money call Andrea today and say that I heard that hobbyist
-> sysops are getting a deal on PXW is that true??  See what she says.  We're all
-> just Whores in need of money

Who is Andrea ?
