    NB>If you care to have successful connections from unlisted nodes, maybe   
   ookin   
    NB>at another mailer would be an option for you?   
      
    DS>   I am considering Argus. Marc Lewis came into the system remotely, and   
    DS> noted I may have a CORRUPT EXE with IREX for Windows. You could NEVER   
    DS> get the system to save the entry "accept connects from unlisted   
    DS> systems". While you could do it in the same session...when you exited   
    DS> REXCFGW, and reloaded it, the paramenter was back to "NO".   
      
   If you read the docs that "option" is only available in the 1000 node server   
   version.   
      
    NB>Binkd is a great mailer, otherwise I hear FMail for Windows is pretty good   
      
    NB>and has more of a GUI configuration than binkd does, I believe.   
      
    DS>   One of my connects for QWK Networking gets the stuff transferred via   
    DS> FTP through IREX...the rest of them are via BinkP. If I could get it to   
    DS> where folks could connect to me, instead of my manually polling 4 times   
    DS> a day, that'd be great. I don't think Comcast is blocking the comport.   
      
    NB>Which, IMO, is bullshit. You shouldn't make people pay for a product you're   
    NB>going to support. Continued support is part of the reason you pay for a   
    NB>product. If you're not going to support it anymore, open source it, or sell   
    NB>to someone who will continue to support it. That's just how I feel about   
   t,   
    NB>anyways.   
      
   I tried.... but we did have a nice conversation via email.
