Hallo munson!

 m> anyone recomend..
 m> a good binkley netmail packer?

CFRoute. It is available for File-Request as cfr-a94.zip from my system,
but I think you will also have no troubles finding it in Zone 1 :-).

Here is a list of the features (copied from the manual):

   - Routes can be defined not only using the destination node but
     all  other  information  available: Origin  node,  encryption,
     file attached and day of the week.
   - Different flavors  can be defined for  any combination of the
     routing factors, for example you can send messages to your RC
     crash if they were  written by you but hold them  if they are
     just in transit at your system.
   - Unlimited number of routes, AKAs, netmail directories, packet
     passwords,  etc.  Only   limited  by  available   memory.  No
     harcoded limits at all.
   - Powerful and flexible configuration file parser.
   - Writes  type  2 (FTS-0001, stone age) and  type 2+ (FSC-0039)
     packets.
   - Parses via lines to get complete path information.
   - Detects loops.
   - Powerful wildcarding system, supporting ?, * and #.
   - Compiled for OS/2, DOS and Windows-32.
   - Complete domain support.
   - Long filenames supported.
   - Optionally generates FastEcho .QQQs instead of .UTs.
   - Can import data from FastEcho.
   - Freeware.
   - Source code (C++) available.
   - Documentation available in English (and an outdated version in
     Spanish).

Although this is a long list of features, the base functionality of CFRoute
is not too hard to configure. For a standard configuration, about 10 lines
in the configuration file will suffice.

A new version of CFRoute will be released soon which will also be able to
access Squish Netmail areas (the current version can only access Fido
*.MSG), have year 2000 and some other fixes, and a Linux version.

Viele Gre,
Tobias
