   DL> the packets from/to the hubs...while FMail or FastEcho do the tossing into

   New D'Bridge users asking for help must buy the first round of drinks...   
      
   In Config-Packet/Mail, change Inbound Mail handling to External.   
      
   That will shut off the internal tosser. You will be responsible for calling    
   your tosser somehow to handle the incoming; but BinkDOS2 should be creating a   
   semaphore/dummy file called DBRIDGE.UFM (Unpack/Forward Mail) whenever    
   anything is received. A simple looping batch file could check for this and    
   call your tosser accordingly. Erase that semaphore when done tossing.   
      
   You can use the semaphore/dummy file DBRIDGE.RSN to force-rescan the outgoing    
   Queue once Fmail/Fastecho have created outgoing packets; since D'Bridge has no   
   way of knowing what is in the outgoing Queue when set in External    
   operation unless its specifically told.   
      
   Any tosser you use with D'Bridge must specifically state that it supports    
   D'Bridge or ArcMail-Style Attachments. Do NOT use BSO or other queue-styles.
