   I currently do not understand how WC5 can receive a call from an external   
   mailer if there is no command on the WC5 side to receive a live connection. In   
   previous versions of Wildcat the "wildcat.exe" command supported the "/B   
   " switch to pass a live connection to the BBS.

    IJ> Internet rex allows up to 3 uplinks if unregistered, where as BinkP is   
    IJ> public domain and is maintained and developed as needed .... Ohhhhh,   
    IJ> sorry I forgot about the mailer  D'Bridge.  The DOS mailer with BinkP   
    IJ> attached to it.  You can configure the BinkP part to send your mailer   
    IJ> around.  At some point the author Nick Andre said he's working on a   
    IJ> multi platform port.     
      
   Can I scan new messages from WC5 to Internet Rex, BinkD or D'Bridge ? if so,   
   then what tools do I need to do it ?
