   -> Can the wcICP for Wildcat 5.00 still be obtained ?   
      
   No.  At least I dont think you can actually buy it anymore since it is   
   basically included as part of the standard WINServer package.   
      
   -> Sounds like it will work with Wildcat 5.0 since this version [surprisingly]   
   -> comes with a telnet server (contrary to the documentation).   
      
   Can you telnet to it with just wcOnline running and no virtual modem?   
      
   ->  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 nee   
   -> to (1) handle mail and (2) have a compatible tosser/scanner right ?    
      
   Because Platinum Xpress is the only tosser/scanner available for   
   WINServer. Period.   
      
   -> Does paying $100 for something that does not do BinkP sound right to you ?   
      
   In this case, it's the only choice we have.   
      
   -> Can PXECHO.EXE work with a mailer other than Platinum Xpress ?   
      
   Again, no.  It is an integral part of Platinum Xpress.  You need to   
   purchase PX to have that.  PXECHO.EXE is basically the all-in-one GUI   
   interface for the PXMAIL and PXTIC command line tools that are also a   
   part of Platinum Xpress.  So, no matter how you slice it, if you want to   
   carry FTN networks on WINServer or WC5, you need PX.
