    RW> Yeah, your version required the wcICP (Wildcat! Internet Connectivity    
    RW> Pack) addon which basically makes it WINServer.  I believe that   
    RW> startin  with 5.3, that was included in the package from that version   
    RW> on.     
      
   Can the wcICP for Wildcat 5.00 still be obtained ?   
       
    -> Does SexPOTS work with virtual modems (eg. an inbound call via TCP/IP) ?    
    RW>    
    RW> It could, but it was designed for use with programs like Mystic or    
    RW> Synchronet for Windows that do not natively have modem code built in,    
    RW> but can handle telnet sessions.  Which in essence would make it a   
    RW> dialup  to telnet shim of sorts.    
      
   Sounds like it will work with Wildcat 5.0 since this version [surprisingly]   
   comes with a telnet server (contrary to the documentation).

    RW> Yeah, Dale Barnes is the current author of InterMail and InterEcho.    
    RW> There WAS a third party mailer that worked like PX/WINS called    
    RW> Mail-Ennium/32, but it went the way of the dodo.    
      
   Why would a 3rd party mailer need to work with Platinum Xpress ? it just needs   
   to (1) handle mail and (2) have a compatible tosser/scanner right ?    
       
    -> Does Platinum Xpress support BinkP ?    
    RW>    
    RW> No.  It only supports modem or virtual modem (via Netserial)    
    RW> connections.  I use PX/WINS side by side with Internet Rex which   
    RW> handles  my binkp transfers.    
      
   Does paying $100 for something that does not do BinkP sound right to you ?   
       
    -> If "pxmail.exe" only works with Platinum Xpress then it is no good to me.    
    RW>    
    RW> PXMAIL.EXE is the command line version of PXECHO.EXE basically.  It    
    RW> allows you to scan and toss mail packets from the command line, which    
    RW> PXECHO.EXE apparently does not let you do.    
      
   Can PXECHO.EXE work with a mailer other than Platinum Xpress ?
