I use the System Agent to call the Batch file.  I guess you could use an error
level.

Yes.  This is who I connect to for my feed.

The second one should be  vice Username.  It was a late night.

Correct.  Your local directory.  If you want you can put it in a temp directory,
and then have the batch file split up the echo packets, versus the tic/files.

All I do is use the built in ftp program for WIn95.  I call the batch file 6
times a day.  WIth Platinum Xpress It will toss the packets as soon as it is
downloaded.  PXW copies a Semaphore file when the mail arrives, and tosses the
packets as soon as it arrives.

Hope that clarifies things for you.
