   understood... sometimes things are not as easily handled as with other

   it doesn't... it has no facility for a nodelist and no nodelist lookup   
   capability... it is much like binkd in this respect except that it came long   
   before binkd did ;)

   that's interesting that you mention synchronet... there's a synchronet system   
   running on the network here and there's no sign of a nodelist on that machine   
   at all...

   that doesn't matter for whether or not it is a windows or dos or 32bit or   
   16bit or similar... all door32.sys does is expand slightly on the existing   
   door.sys format...

   enable the above mention "check for fidomail (EMSI)" option... then one only   
   need poll your system with a FTN mailer over telnet... like one of my   
   frontdoor nodes which services telnet connections ;)
