   D'Bridge (Free)DOS + BINKD

   Hi Nick,   
      
   I just downloaded D'Bridge to have a play. I know it can do BINKD in Windows   
   environments - is it possible to have BINKD in DOS? FreeDOS has a network    
   stack   
   and it would be great it the BINKD component could run there.   
      
   I have my 1995 DOS BBS resurrected, using RLFOSSIL, however, mail transfers    
   are   
    intermittent - probably because of send buffers, and the sender timing out   
   before the mail is received in DOS. The performance of RLFOSSIL is almost like   
   a 300 baud modem and I havent been able to tell either side that it is a slow   
   link (so it doesnt timeout so quickly).   
      
   If BINKD works with the network stack in FreeDOS, I'm thinking this would    
   solve   
    that problem for me :)
