   That is not the latest version. The latest version is binkd/1.1a-111/OS2   
   binkp/1.1   
      
   Ask Tommi Koivula. He alway compiles the latest OS/2 version.   
      
    ML> Does this mean that it will not work with a Binkley style outbound?   
      
   Binkd works fine with BSO. In fact, it only works with BSO.   
      
   I dropped Irex about 10 years ago. It worked fine, but it had some annoying   
   bugs that would never be fixed because it is abondonware. The final straw was   
   that I wanted my system to upgrade to IPv6 and Irex will never support IPv6.   
      
   As my Irex was working together with InterMail (fork of Frontdoor), it was not   
   operating in BSO mode, so I had to convert my system from AMA to BSO. That was   
   a bit of work but I never regretted making the jump. I dropped POTS in the   
   process.   
      
   Making the OS/2 version of binkd do IPv6 is a bit of a challenge since OS/2   
   does not support IPv6 and in all likehood never will. I liked OS/2, but   
   dropped it 20 years ago because I could not make it talk to Novell Personal   
   Netware. But I do not want to start an OS war here...   
      
    ML> Is there someplace I can find complete documentation on its set-up and

   Not really. There is a sample config floating around somewhere. It is not   
   entirely up tp date. But you can get lots of help here...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
