   Love that Green Dragon! ;)   
      
    NA> In Config-Packet/Mail, change Inbound Mail handling to External.   
      
   Fantastic! Makes sense that you're using another program outside D'Bridge to   
   do the heavy work.   
      
    NA> calling your tosser somehow to handle the incoming; but BinkDOS2 should

   That's a good way to have the tosser find what it needs to do.    
      
    NA> You can use the semaphore/dummy file DBRIDGE.RSN to force-rescan the

   Calling *.UFM after polling...then *.RSN for outgoing packets. Very nice.   
      
    NA> Any tosser you use with D'Bridge must specifically state that it   
    NA> supports D'Bridge or ArcMail-Style Attachments. Do NOT use BSO or other

   Am so happy you spelled this out...since you might find it by digging...but   
   stating it plainly saves a ton of time.   
      
   Thank you again for all your help. Gotta a 5:30 AM workday tomorrow...but am   
   off at 10:30 AM to head back at 7 PM Friday evening...so should have time to   
   get this set up.
