got it.
I and now self onto trting to getting the old modem mailer BinkleyTerm
(BTXE) setup and in same time the Fastlst program.

Right now is there a hole in my getting of the R50 FDNs and other FDNs as
my deliever of them not has been to gettng things from and checkig on for
special files from R50, so I now looking now for another good system in R50
to getting the files from.
