MJ> You cannot mix a DOS mailer with a Windows based modem program... that's it... download, setup, and test this yourself it does not work. If you have wcOnline I'm sure your BBS has telnet... get your users to call your BBS with that... there is absolutely no need to have a mailer pass a user... If you want a mailer... setup whatever you want and let it run independently of the BBS.... BTW, I have PXW running with WINServer... if you were to call that port PXW would hangup on you and say it's a mail only line. There is no need to have a mailer with the BBS to process human callers... I have 12 nodes and one is eaten up with mail processes... and that leaves me with 10 nodes more than I currently need. If you don't believe me that it doesn't work... download the programs and put some time in to see if they work... MJ> IJ> I think so... it had px in front of the name... all of my fidonet MJ> IJ> setup is in Platinum Express... MJ> IJ> I have uploaded 2 files on my BBS that will toss fidonet mail for wc5 MJ> MJ> Can you provide the filenames ? MJ> I only have a half dozen files on my system... They are the only 2 that say they are WC5 mail tossers... They are there for you... Enjoy!!!!
