   the cron/outbound managers don't automatically pack netmail... that requires   
   another tool and i'd rather not go that way... frontdoor and db don't need   
   them and i'd rather not be stuck with blackhole routing if i don't have to   
   be... binkleyterm and most mailers that use BSO require that netmail be packed   
   externally... Taurus seems to be the first of the ART family that doesn't ;)

   i understand... if we can locate the source code for radius, that 'U'   
   requirement can easily be removed... if it is how i think it is, it would only   
   take commenting out two items in the code... a variable and the boolean   
   operator tying it to the Txy flag ;)

   other than the connection attempts counters and stand-off minutes for each,   
   the only other options are   
      
     Transmit hold on outgoing (unchecked)   
     Prevent 'Direct' from initiating a poll (unchecked)   
     Force 'Normal' to initiate a poll (unchecked)   
      
   what i need is a way to schedule "events" as in mailer events which qualify   
   mail to be sent during that event... then a way to qualify that mail... what i   
   have right now is no way to specify that 'Normal' is held until a specific   
   mailer event... here is what the roughly google translated from russian to   
   english help section says about events...   
      
   [/quote]   
   Events   
      
   The event serves to change the line of the mail system. Such parameters may   
   be, for example, command-line modems, access file requests, minimum allowed   
   speed of the connection, etc.   
      
   In contrast to the periodic run applications and periodic calls, events in   
   themselves do not perform in a global system, and only affect the parameters   
   of the lines to which they are attached.   
      
   After the creation of the event do not forget to tie him to the lines (modem   
   or TCP / IP), for which it is intended!   
      
   Events tied to the line in the configuration dialog line Config / Dialup /   
   Line on the page Events.   
      
   The event has a periodicity, described in the format of cron, the duration of   
   exposure to the line, and a list of atoms. Duration of the event or can be   
   specified in days, hours and minutes, or event is determined by permanent.   
   Periodicity (ie the start of the event action) is given by either local time   
   (default) or in UTC.   
      
   Atom - a particle events affecting a particular line of argument, to which the   
   event is attached to.   
      
   For example, an event that changes the modem initialization string and a   
   string of necessary conditions continuity, contains two atoms - atom   
   replacement modem initialization string and replace the string atom conditions   
   necessary continuity.

   i really do wish that i could find the taurusen hlp or chm file that was   
   available... translation from decompiled chm is extremely slow and cumbersome   
   as one has to translate each text section in the html code and then save the   
   page for viewing in a browser...
