   I don't think sexpots would work anyway, since FD still needs to be    
   listening on a com port -- virtual or otherwise.

   I don't see why it would need to come in a Linux "flavor" since most    
   Linux based boards these days seem to not have dialup.

   Yeah, I prefer FastEcho myself since the fmail author seems to have no    
   desire to port it over to OS/2.  What language it is written in anyway?

   I can run SEXPOTS on a Windows box all day long and have it telnet to    
   FD/2 running on my ArcaOS 5.0.1 Professional VM, but it has to be    
   sitting behind a running VMODEM.EXE (in my case, which is part of Ray    
   Gwinn's SIO2k).

   I am just happy JoHo is back on the scene again :)
