BG> I'm using a BBS software that has it's own built in mail/tosser,   
    BG> and I'd like to use another BBS software as a point. How do I set   
    BG> up FastEcho to work with the existing BBS software?   
      
   hunh?   
      
   i /think/ you are saying that you have one bbs with an internal tosser and you   
   are wanting to set up another bbs as a point and use FE on this point   
   system... is this correct?   
      
   if so, there is nothing to do in FE concerning the existing bbs with builtin   
   tosser... FE doesn't care about it at all... think straight down the line and   
   you'll see why... FE only cares about its inbound, outbound directories and   
   where to toss/scan the mail to/from...   
      
   hint: you're existing system would create mail bundles and pkts for the new   
   point then your processing .bat file (or whatever) would move only the stuff   
   for the point to the point's inbound directory... at some point in time, the   
   point's stuff would then process its inbound mail...   
      
   you'd have the same thing for outbound from the point... it would generate the   
   outbound mail bundles and pkts which would then need to be moved to your   
   existing system's inbound for processing...   
      
   the above is assuming you are going to be doing this all on one physical   
   machine and don't want to have to use a mailer to talk to the other system but   
   that can also be done under the right circumstances instead of the physical   
   moving of the files... of course, if you are going to do this on two machines,   
   then a mailer is the better way unless you have drives mapped across the   
   network but that can get sticky at times...
