I know that we've been the only traffic here in a while and we might be a
little off topic.

Irex is like Taurus in that it'll send mail over the net using binkp... 
Irex can be configured to work directly with FD... they share directories
\fd\outbound, \fd\sema\ ... bla bla bla.  If you are sending mail over the
net you can use Irex and any dialup nodes via FD.

Since Irex supports *.msg mailers/tosers all the software you had will run
with Irex... Anyway... everything should be easy to setup... under node
manager just set your up/downlink as a binkp connection and it should work
fine... It you setup taurus you should be able to do Irex easy!!!
