ok... i don't use winwhatever for anything mission critical... ever... so i've
also never played with mike's offerings from pcmicro :?

ok... so use her normal address ;)

hunh? he must have his bbs running first and then shelling to the mailer
instead of the mailer answering and then passing to the bbs... that's the way
it seems to read from what you wrote...

you can try connecting to my system via telnet... frontdoor answers... freqs
are welcome... if you telnet with a standard terminal then you will pass
through frontdoor (hit esc twice) to my remoteaccess system...

ok... i was just suggesting them in case you were having a problem with adf
talking to netserial...

it depends on which OS/2 you've tried... i have eCS on a system now but i don't
think it is 1ghz or more... and only 384meg of ram, too :)

my system's address is listed in the nodelist... that's one of the main reasons
for the nodelist... but if you don't have a nodelist since some systems don't
need them (but they should!) then you can contact my system via
ftn.wpusa.dynip.com... telnet on standard port... be careful that you don't try
too many times too fast... i have an IDS (Intrusion Detection System) that will
block your IP if it thinks you are trying to attack the system... you'll have
to contact me via fidonet to have the block removed or wait until the block
times out after some days ;)
EJ> But for now - thanks for the help!
you are quite welcome :)
