That is good to know.  Michael Luko was nice enough to provide me with my
current BinkP feed.  I didn't even know what BinkP was until a few weeks
ago. It is nice to have all those options.  Unfortunately, native WWIV
networks don't have a single current option that I'm aware of at the
moment.  I used to use the PPP Project which uses UUencoded email as the
transport, but that won't work with secure email servers - which is the
vast majority these days.  I'm sure a fancy batch file and FTP scripts
could be another option for sending the packets, but nothing "out of
the box" easy.
