   Hi Robin,   
      
    HG> I don't understand why you are using all those external programs when   
    HG> almost everything is built-in into PCBoard.   
      
   RH> The reason is simple. I only started with FidoNet and FrontDor and   
   RH> the necessary external programs. Only a year or two later I bought a   
   RH> PCBoard and used FrontDoor as a boot for PCBoard.   
      
   OK, I have only used FrontDoor APX (FDAPX) on my office and laptop   
   machines and that one doesn't require any external programs.   
      
    HG>> If I remember it correctly there is software in the SIO package   
      
   RH> Yes, I also have a registered SIO program but I use v.1.6D and   
   RH> VMODEM to connect FrontDoor to the Internet.   
      
   RH> More specifically, I should have. Today I use SIO2K v2.02 and eCS   
   RH> 2.2, not OS/2 Warp.   
      
    HG> Nothing else was required for that.   
      
   Interesting. I have also considered either eCS or the one called BlueLion   
      
   RH> I understand, but I've never used PCBard alone and for FidoNet.   
   RH> It has always been just a bulletin board, so I have no experience   
   RH> connecting PCBoard to the Internet independently without FrontDoor   
      
   RH> Yes, BinkD is the only option today because Telnet and port 23 are   
   RH> useless today :-(   
      
   You don't have to use port 23. You can use port 2023 instead.   
      
   RH> I have time, but again I do not have programming skills and I cannot   
   RH> set many things myself and I don't know English and I can't do   
   RH> anything without Google :-(   
      
   Have a nice day.
