   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.
