   iRex Server Mode

   I've never used rexserv.exe in the 10+ years I've used IREX I use   
   REXW.exe. Are you running rexw in daemon mode? Read the Requirements   
   below. When I tried running Rexserv it doesn't do anything here.   
      
   Are you referrring to FTP,BinkP,POP3,SMTP servers as server mode??   
      
   Starting with version 2.00 of Internet Rex, running Rex in daemon mode   
   allows you the option of running built-in servers, also known as   
   daemons.  You can use these to provide services to people using your   
   machine.  The FTP server can be used for sharing files on the internet   
   or accepting FTP uploads from downlinks; the POP3, SMTP and finger   
   servers let you host your own internet email addresses; the BinkP server   
   lets you receive inbound BinkP connections; and the ident server lets   
   you provide verification for other internet programs (IRC clients, for   
   example).   
      
   Requirements   
   In order to run the various servers Rex includes, your setup will   
   require:  A full time internet connection.     
   Rex must be running in daemon mode. Rex must be run in daemon mode to   
   ensure that it stays around long enough for the servers to be   
   accessible.   
                             
      
   -> Hello fellow irex users...   
      
   -> I am running WinXP SP3 with Irex v2.31 for Windows & PCBoard v15.3.   
      
   -> Irex works just great when i run it manually or on the command line.   
      
   -> It errors out when i try and run it in server mode. Windows gives an   
   -> error message when booting up. Not able to load rexserve.exe.   
      
   -> Has anyone been able to get irex running in server mode on WinXP?   
      
   -> The manual says it's XP compatible. I do have rexserv.exe in the IREX   
   -> directory. It's also not registered.   
      
   -> Thanks in advance...
