I did install Argus....and I cn't seem to get the paths right....when there
are .msg files sitting in c:\im\mail(thich is where timed and the echolist
robot place them), folks don't "see" their mail under Argus.

It also appears that systems using BBBS can't connect to Argus...at least
when they use the HYDRA protocol.
