Slow in evolution?  When you stop and think about it, there's nothing in
the Fido specs that has changed to the point where Binkley has to play
catch up.  Hardware has changed (faster modems) and even that is
supported up to 115200 and that was done almost at the same time the
faster modems started hitting the market.

I totally agree with you here.  I've been running Binkley since 2.30 and
have been very happy with it.

I tried out a few others, the major one being FrontDoor.  Too many
headaches with FD.  The layout could be confusing, some settings didn't
make sense (mainly description of function), and some others had to be
kludged to get them to work the same way they did in Binkley WITHOUT
kludging.

Binkley also has the advantage of all of its operational settings and
requirements being controlled by just two major files -- the .CFG and
the .EVT files.  Much better, IMHO, then the dozens of dropdown screens
required for other mailer packages.

I want to be able to make my changes in ONE or TWO locations and be done
with it instead of playing 'setting tag' with a bunch of menus,
sub-menus, sub-sub-menus, ad nauseum.
