   I believe it can be done. But it depends on how SexPOTS was coded. I am   
   clarifying these details with the author.   
      
    IJ> If you have wcOnline I'm sure your BBS has telnet... get your users to   
    IJ> call your BBS with that... there is absolutely no need to have a   
    IJ> mailer pass a user...  If you want a mailer... setup whatever you want   
    IJ> and let it run independently of the BBS....    
      
   But I need to have my BBS callers see a "Press  twice for BBS" prompt.   
      
    IJ> BTW, I have PXW running with WINServer... if you were to call that   
    IJ> port PXW would hangup on you and say it's a mail only line.  There is   
    IJ> no need to have a mailer with the BBS to process human callers... I   
    IJ> have 12 nodes and one is eaten up with mail processes... and that   
    IJ> leaves me with 10 nodes more than I currently need.    
      
   You are not fully utilising Platinum Xpress if you are not enabling BBS   
   callers.   
      
    MJ> Can you provide the filenames ?

    IJ> I only have a half dozen files on my system... They are the only 2   
    IJ> that say they are WC5 mail tossers... They are there for you...    
      
   All I saw was KityMail and NetRunner. One is a mail processor, and the other   
   is a telnet client.
