Hi Matthias,

Could have sworn there were mailers which only did YooHoo, rather than EMSI. 
I can't remember their name, but I'm sure others can. :) 

 MT> capabilities? What do you say about that ip-nodes which only speak the
 MT> binkd protocol?

Not a lot. 

 MT> I doubt that they are good enough for fts-1. And does anybody use

They are in some countries, not in others. If you really want (and if you 
can wait ;) I can try and locate people who've actually had experience with 
having to drop down to FTS1 transfers - I can remember them talking about 
it, just not who or what echo.

 PW>> Making EMSI the preferred protocol I wouldn't mind, but removing
 PW>> FTS-1 is a big mistake.
 MT> This would be a compromiss i could defend.

Works for us two, then. :) Anyone else?

TSP?
