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