   I guess I'm just trying to figure out why you seem to stick with Win98se. I   
   mean I know the usual reasons like comfort, used to it, ease of use, etc. But   
   is there something there that newer Windows OSes are lacking?

   Yikes! Linux 2.5, you may even be able to setup that broken version of Irex   
   for Linux on there. ;)

   To be honest, I have no idea. Before I took my long Fido vacation I was under   
   the assumption it was still in the works. Though by now it could very well   
   have changed.

   If I remember right, the default zone setting would obviously be your default   
   Fidonet outbound directory for zone 3. However, every other zone should have   
   their own directory (ie: if default zone is "fidonet", you should have   
   fidonet.001, fidonet.002, and fidonet.004 if links for those zones are in your   
   config and you've sent netmail to them). Then for any other network you setup   
   it would have a different directory naming scheme, not using the "fidonet"   
   prefix, it would use the actual name of the network.

   Seems as though you've tried the limited options out there. Also seems as   
   though since CM II hasn't been touched in forever besides adding a couple text   
   files and moving it to sourceforge or github, it may not ever get fixed. ;(   
      
   Regards,
