And Yes I eventually will need to have support to feed downstream       and/or other nodes and probably a private net and get feeds for LinuxNET, as I       have plans for some things, basically to revive some of the things I was doing       when I ran my original node 1:129/220... I am tied of the filth that is/has       ruined one of my passions, and the website and greed that has ruined things....              I have crashmail that comes from apt-get on buntu's 14.04 ESR              I have the manual from the other site github or something... but crashmail       doesn't seem to generate PKT's when I do              crashmail SETTINGS crashmail.prefs SCAN              Even though it says it is...              CrashMail II 0.71 started successfully!       Scanning all areas for messages to export       Scanning area NETMAIL       Exporting message #9 from "Rick Christian" to "Eric Renfro" at 1:135/0       Is in HandleMessage()       Importing message              1 message exported       Scanning for orphan files       Scanning for old packets       Scanning for new files to pack       CrashMail end                      PQ> Plan 'B': grab HPT (and all that it requires, if you can sort through        PQ> the nonsense dependencies). Oh, still, the Ubuntu Software Center may        PQ> have something.[shrug] I haven't looked.                     Thanks, but dragging in Husky and all its excess baggage is not really a plan       or option, as eventually I would like to put my FTN mailer on a Pi to let it       run on its own with a shared file system for Golded to read from...              If I was going to use Husky I may as well just run DOSBox and setup FD, but       since my local net uses Binkd and I need binkp that is not an option. Or even       go dig out the telebits and V.90/92 modems in the shed and run it that way....               * Origin: news://news.wpusa.dynip.com | acct req'd to post (1:3634/12)    |
