I didnt mean it quite like that. If you want to use crashmail to get
around routing quirks in routed netmail, you really have to make the
actual phone call to the destination yourself. Otherwise the sysop of
the bossnode wears that direct call for you, however you actually get
crashmail to be done by software.

AM> Squish doesn't do this either?  

Again, its more a question of who pays for the phone call than software.

Clearly in your case where you have a full BBS config in effect its
going to be possible to get whatever software you are using to do that
sort of stuff from a direct call from your system to the destination.

The reason I suggested FrontDoor instead of using Binkley is that Bink
is notorious for shithouse docs and a less than user friendly config
anyway. So if you want to do a quick and easy crashmail and FREQ
capability its trivial with FroDo, rather more effort to get Bink and
whatever to do it, tho obviously doable.
