Hello again Robin,

I don't understand why you are using all those external programs when
almost everything is built-in into PCBoard.

HG> If I remember it correctly there is software in the SIO package that
HG> I used to connect to internet but I don't remember if I used the
HG> connection for anything else than just mail.

In addition to the above I have checked my registered SIO v1.35 program
and it contains the VMODEM program that I use with PCBoard to connect to
the Internet.

Nothing else was required for that.

Then again, I do use some PPE utilities that make it easier to use
PCBoard itself and for reading/replying to QWK messages the MR/2 program
for OS/2 but you can use MultiMail instead which is free and available
for many operating systems.

At the moment I'm investigating BinkP to connect to the Internet but I
have other things to do that are more important at the moment.


Have a nice day,

Holger
