What sort of software would I need to download .msg packets that
normal points download, and to be able to upload the reply equivalent?
Just something like Binkleyterm?  Would there be any way of making a
script for a normal comms program that would simulate what ever it is
that a point comms program does in order to exchange mail packets?

I ask this because I hope that some time in the new year, my OLR will
be able to read from .msg format packets, and so, am wondering what
I'll need to do to get them...  Just think Paul, one more AVT-ite to
add to your cosy group of 'pointers'...
