   I don't know.  I couldn't get iRex to run.  (Which I count as a +plus+, BTW.)    
   A close approximation could be Soupgate, though I've never used it either.   
      
   But, no-no, no.  I must have had a brain-fart that late last night; I went off   
   at a tangent that wasn't related to your Fmail function at all.  I've just now   
   twigged to what you were talking about...   
      
   Yes, I was doing similar back around the turn of the century when I was still   
   only on dial-up, and had a point operator living in Halle, Germany.  :)  I   
   think I was using a package called 'Fido 2 Internet', which encoded packets   
   into email and decoded incoming emails back into echomail packets.  (With the   
   POP3/SMTP server I could dedicate an email address to that function.)   
      
   I think I still have the archive (FREQ-able as fd2i101.rar on my other node)   
   but I can't open .RARs from this netbook, and I'm not getting out of bed for   
   anyone to check it right now.  ;-)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
