   Hello Michiel!   
      
   08 Dec 18 14:36, you wrote to Ward Dossche:

    MvdV> totally seperated from D'Bridge or does D'Bridge write to binkd's config   
    MvdV> file?   
      
    Dbrige is just as much involved in the actions as your Fmail.   
    Ward uses a separate configfile, but the one dbrigde generates is   
    perfectly well, it works here for almost a year. So harping on dbridge is   
    a waste of time.   
      
    WD>> And D'bridge itself does not have any generic binkp-capable code.

    Dbrigde is a scanner, tosser, message editor, scheduler and pots mailer.   
    There is no other connection that BSO file area and semaphore files.   
      
    MvdV> The latest binkd release that I use is   
    MvdV> binkd11a99-mingw32-ipv6-perldl-zlib-bzlib2.zip   
      
    MvdV> To be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/vasilyevmax/fido   
      
    The last few versions were just addition of useless options.   
    Almost nay available version shoild wordk with ipv6 as long as it is   
    compiled in.
