      Nick...              NB>As far as I know, you should just add the MO flag. CM is Continuous Mail,       NB>which would still be true for your system, wouldn't it?              NB>MO is Mail Only. So it's basically saying you don't run a BBS there. If you       NB>do run a BBS, you probably don't want to use that flag.               I am running the BBS, but even with changing IREX to "accept connects       from unlisted nodes", and with ports 24554-24556 open in the router,       folks are still getting "connect refused". I have no idea what else to       do.              NB>I believe in recent conversations in other echos, other mailers have been       NB>moving into the future while Irex has been left behind without updates.       NB>Problems are starting to arise in regards to that, but it seems most of thos       NB>updated mailers have some sort of workaround in place to deal with Irex and       NB>other mailers that will never be updated in the future. People that don't       NB>connect with you all the time may not know that, though. So if they're tryin       NB>to connect to you with something like mbcico and don't have the option set t       NB>deal with Irex connections, the connection will fail. Just an FYI for future       NB>reference, I suppose.               I was running Argus awhile back, when I had dial-up. But, since I       don't have dial-up anymore, I don't use it. But, I may have to look at       that to replace IREX for BinkP connects.               One rarely sees a post from Charles Cruden, IREX's author,       anymore...and while one can still register it through various websites,       it's like any personal support is all but gone.              Daryl              ---        þ OLX 1.53 þ Life is fragile...handle with prayer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    --- Virtual Advanced Ver 2 for DOS         * ORIGIN: The Thunderbolt BBS - wx1der.dyndns.org (1:19/33)    |
