I need it! :)              Ummmm, I'm not the best guy to guide you on Linux matters... Can I ask a       question...? Is your goal just to send FidoNET Style Mail and or files between       systems, or do you want a dial up node to call out to get mail as needed       through a POTS line.               Currently, the idea of BBSes passing mail via dial up maybe a thing of the       past, just saying.... Everyone is on the Internet Train and there are fewer       and fewer active people on POTS lines. Now in 2020 programmers cannot make       enough money to support themselves making BBS software ... Anyway... here we       are 2020 and there is no real solution for Dial up mailers written for Linux.       FROM WHAT I CAN SEE..... Might be a way to scab things together... don't       know.              You mentioned FMail as a mail tosser. I have used this tosser as a mail       tosser in windows and DOS. I heard it has a Linux flavor and even better       it's still under development... it also works well with Bink (P)(D), Bink       comes in a Linux flavor so problem solved....              BTW, what BBS package are you trying to run?              IB Joe       AKA Joe Schweier       SysOp of Joe's BBS       -=JoesBBS.com=-              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Joe's BBS -=JoesBBS.com=- (1:342/201)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/130 226/30 227/114 702 229/424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/664 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 342/201 633/280       PATH: 342/201 200 229/426           |
