He would still need        RW> and FTN echomail processor.              I've never heard of that but it might solve the issue.               RW> Why not give SearchLight a try with the Valence QWK mail door, which        RW> allows for both QWK hubbing as well as for tossing and scanning        RW> net-status QWK hubs :)              Is Valence the door that William McBrine wrote? Looks interesting but I know        nothing about SearchLight so my best bet is that is not going to happen.              Is searchLight still supported/updated/registerable?              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 120/340 123/130 153/0 135 757 802       SEEN-BY: 153/6809 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/275 424 426 452 664 230/0 240/1120 2100 5138 5411 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 292/8125 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/17 200 396/45 423/81 633/280       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 2454/119 4500/1       PATH: 153/757 221/6 1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
