       Hi, Holger!   
      
    HG>> I don't understand why you are using all those external programs   
    HG>> when 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   
    RH>> a PCBoard and used FrontDoor as a boot for PCBoard.   
      
    HG> OK, I have only used FrontDoor APX (FDAPX) on my office and laptop   
    HG> machines and that one doesn't require any external programs.   
      
       FDAPX is a breeze, it can't run PCBoard, and if there's a coordinator in   
   Fidonet, it can't use it and doesn't work in 64 bit.   
      
    HG> Interesting. I have also considered either eCS or the one called   
    HG> BlueLion   
      
       eCS and BlueLion are only slightly upgraded Warp. Kernel is still the same   
   :-( But I love OS / 2 and so mmsm eCS even though it is not cheap :-(   
      
    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 :-(   
      
    HG> You don't have to use port 23. You can use port 2023 instead.   
      
       I worked for a long time and I couldn't persuade SIO and VM. Finally, Tomi   
   from Belgium advised me, and FrontDoor dials through port 2030, but we didn't   
   solve it to accept calls as well.   
      
                                   Bye
