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>         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 ?              ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30       --- SBBSecho 3.13-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 702 229/424 426 550 664 1016       SEEN-BY: 229/1017 240/5411 5832 5853 249/206 317 280/464 292/8125       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 633/280       PATH: 103/705 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
