   Okay, you have WC5   
      
    MJ> Wildcat version 5.00 does not come with HTTP or FTP (these were add-on   
    MJ> products that needed to be purchased separately). I understand that   
    MJ> wcOnline handles connections between callers and wcServer. But unlike a   
    MJ> lot of DOS BBS's, WC5 does not have an option to load an active   
    MJ> connection (high carrier) into the BBS from the command line.   
    MJ>    
      
   For me... I start wcServer then wcOnline and the BBS is ready to receive   
   callers.  You need to configure your BBS so that it can be accessed VIA   
   telnet, use port 23... it doesn't matter.... that's the standard port for   
   telnet...  Then Configure NetSerial to work... then the mailer to work with   
   NetSerial... The mailer will answer the call and pass the user to SexPOTS and   
   SexPOTS send the user to the BBS.   
      
    MJ> I have both DOS and Windows versions (WC4 and WC5).   
    MJ>    
    MJ> If an external mailer like Frontdoor can exit without dropping carrier,   
    MJ> and then SexPOTS can pickup and resume carrier and forward the   
    MJ> connection on to WC5, then SexPOTS sounds like it might work.   
    MJ>    
      
   You cannot use a DOS mailer with a Windows 32bit program.  Use a Windows   
   mailer and you'll be able to achieve what you want.  SexPOTS with a Windows   
   based mailer will work fine.  BTW, if you ran your WC4 BBS use D'bridge   
   because it has Binkp built right into it...    
      
   MJ> Does SexPOTS work with virtual modems (eg. an inbound call via TCP/IP) ?   
      
   It should... It's a small telnet app that works with a modem... The program   
   should not detect you're using a virtual modem.   
      
    MJ>    
    MJ> Is InterMail a Frontdoor clone ? (it looks like a lot like Frontdoor).   
    MJ>     
      
   Peter & JoHo were the original authors to Frontdoor.  They fell out of love.    
   The each left with copies of the source code ands went their separate ways.    
   InterMail isn't really a clone .... at one point they were identical just   
   changed cosmetically ... and whatever Peter added after the breakup.   
      
    MJ>     
    MJ> Does Platinum Xpress support BinkP ?   
    MJ>     
   I use Internet Rex because it has a Platinum Express setup, Internet Rex has a   
   BinkP mailer in it... BinkP has a neat little thing it does... you can set it   
   up to send mail to someone if there are files in a specific directory... so...   
   if you wanted to send me mail \bink\mailbox\joe\  anything in the joe   
   directory would be sent to me  Most mail tossers today have the feature to   
   send stuff to a mailbox like I described... or you can write a batch file to   
   move things there....   
      
    MJ>    
    MJ> If "pxmail.exe" only works with Platinum Xpress then it is no good to me.   
    MJ>    
      
   I think so... it had px in front of the name... all of my fidonet setup is in   
   Platinum Express...   
      
   I have uploaded 2 files on my BBS that will toss fidonet mail for wc5
