I'd recommend if you're not using a BBS to use binkd (the original       version). I haven't used straight binkd myself as I use Internet Rex/2 but       there are others here who have and do who can help.              From there, you'd need to learn how each of your networks run their       operations and set up yours likewise.              When I started Micronet from scratch, I was and am running Maximus/2 for my       BBS, Internet Rex/2 for my main mail setup for BinkD/FTP connects, and       Squish/2 for my mail tosser.              Later,       Sean               ___ MultiMail/Linux v0.52              --- Maximus/2 3.01        * Origin: Outpost BBS * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10123 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 601 226/30 227/114 229/101 426       SEEN-BY: 229/452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
