   Hi Lee... I honestly don't know the answer to that. I only know that she came   
      
   right out when I asked her for help in setting it up, that she said they do not   
      
   support it anymore, She actually sent me to poor Janis who wondered why I was   
      
   bothering her when I first set it up. And if I am not mistaken it almost   
      
   sounded as if it was a 3rd party problem, like it wasn't their baby and whoever   
      
   was working on PXW is now not there or something like that. She just said it   
      
   was done and would not be supported by them on the bbs or over the phone.   
      
   Although it was a rough ride trying to get the version 2 and do all that needed   
      
   to be done to bring it up to speed and to version 3. It was a nightmare. I   
      
   found out later that was mainly because the key she gave me was a bad key.   
      
   Changed it and it all worked fine. I know IREX does not seem to be supported,   
      
   but knock on wood ( my head just got wrapped ) I haven't had much of a problem   
      
   with that since the day I set it up. Not with it working or registering it. PXW   
      
   is nice, but if it is not going to be supported, my question is, who or what is   
      
   going to take the place of it? I never got a clear answer on that, just a quick   
      
   snap of a reply. I still think they are getting away from networking type stuff   
      
   in winserver. Just my hunch. I have always wondered why there has not been any   
      
   real support in like Fidonet. It is hurting the product, but is also the fact   
      
   that hobbyist sysops on fidonet is not their target market. I dunno..   
      
      
      
   Have a good One!
