    BM> Previously I had two issues, one with session level passwords and the   
    BM> ability of changing them.  I resolved that issue using the -p swtich   
    BM> when starting rexcfg.  Second was the ability of IRex reading the   
    BM> FD's compiled nodelist.  I "thought" I found the problem but...   
      
    BM> Originally I registered the 50 user non-server version.  Not RTFM at   
    BM> first, I was rather perplexed why it wouldn't read it then I finally   
    BM> did and saw only the 1000 user version would.  So, I broke down and   
    BM> purchased that version. Installed the new key and serial #... said it   
    BM> updated it to the 1000 user version, toggled the Send to Unknown   
    BM> Users to yes, saved it and it still won't read it. I open rexcfg   
    BM> again and see that sectioned toggled back to NO.  This is really   
    BM> pissin me off to no end.  Please, any help. Seems Charles loves   
    BM> collecting my $ but getting answers aren't so forthcoming.   
      
    BM> Any help is appreciated....   
      
    RW> Hate to say it, but I told you so. Irex is abandoned software and you   
    RW> won't get any help from the author. It's too bad that you paid for the   
    RW> upgrade, but that's life. Personally, I think its shameful that the   
    RW> software is abandoned and the author still collects registration money   
    RW> for it. the best you can do is live with what you have or move   
    RW> on...D'Bridge is a very good alternative and does more than Irex in the   
    RW> long run.   
      
    RW> D'Bridge has its quirks too, but at least there is a live author who   
    RW> deals with these problems in his support echo. IMO, you can't go wrong   
    RW> with it and if you're running a BBS, that's also included in the   
    RW> package.   
      
      
   Right now I'm thinking about using FD and NetSerial. Mark offered to point me   
   in the right direction.  I already have FD, just need to get the other from   
   PCMicro.     
      
   Hey, live and learn.. lol..   
      
   Be well..
