       Hi, Holger!   
      
    RH>>     I restored MultiLine Sio2K/2 and FrontDoor/2 and GEcho/2 and   
    RH>> PCBoard/2 and GoldED/2 after ten years and I had a lot of work   
    RH>> with the IP connection.   
      
    HG> I don't understand why you are using all those external programs when   
    HG> almost everything is built-in into PCBoard.   
      
   The reason is simple. I only started with FidoNet and FrontDor and the   
   necessary external programs. Only a year or two later I bought a PCBoard and   
   used FrontDoor as a boot for PCBoard.   
      
    HG>> If I remember it correctly there is software in the SIO package   
    HG>> that I used to connect to internet but I don't remember if I used   
    HG>> the connection for anything else than just mail.   
      
    HG> In addition to the above I have checked my registered SIO v1.35   
    HG> program and it contains the VMODEM program that I use with PCBoard to   
    HG> connect to the Internet.   
      
   Yes, I also have a registered SIO program but I use v.1.6D and VMODEM to   
   connect FrontDoor to the Internet.   
      
   More specifically, I should have. Today I use SIO2K v2.02 and eCS 2.2, not   
   OS/2 Warp.   
      
    HG> Nothing else was required for that.   
      
    HG> Then again, I do use some PPE utilities that make it easier to use   
    HG> PCBoard itself and for reading/replying to QWK messages the MR/2   
    HG> program for OS/2 but you can use MultiMail instead which is free and   
    HG> available for many operating systems.   
      
   I understand, but I've never used PCBard alone and for FidoNet. It has always   
   been just a bulletin board, so I have no experience connecting PCBoard to the   
   Internet independently without FrontDoor :-(   
      
    HG> At the moment I'm investigating BinkP to connect to the Internet but I   
    HG> have other things to do that are more important at the moment.   
      
   Yes, BinkD is the only option today because Telnet and port 23 are useless   
   today :-(   
      
   I have time, but again I do not have programming skills and I cannot set many   
   things myself. Previously, my colleague helped me with everything he could,   
   but he doesn't deal with it anymore and I don't know English and I can't do   
   anything without Google :-(   
      
                                   Bye   
                                  Robin
