    DD> Are there any limitations to the shell-to-mailer mode ?   
      
   yes... mainly that you cannot do things between the mailer and the bbs when a   
   caller connects...

    DD> ============================================   
    DD> R:\RA\RA.EXE -MR:\FD\FD.EXE*M -E10 -N%1 -c%1   
    DD> ============================================   
      
    DD> But it looks like RA will always exit with Errorlevel 10 (ie. "-E10").   
      
   yes... that's RA's exit level...   
      
    DD> FrontDoor has the following errorlevels:   
      
    DD>           24.1 Errorlevels   
      
    DD>               1       Internal error   
    DD>               2       External error - missing files, paths, etc.

    DD>               31-255  User definable errorlevels   
      
    DD> How do I get RA to detect those ?   
      
   the only ones you might need to worry about are the 31-255 user definable   
   errorlevels... the ones that you might have FD exit on for different connect   
   speeds are duplicated in RACONFIG->Options->errorlevels...   
      
    DD> -- or is the only way is to use "EXEBBS.bat" (ie. not use   
    DD> shell-to-mailer mode) ?   
      
   you don't even have to use exebbs.bat... i don't and never have...
