MR> I had considered this in the past as well, though I could not get my
MR> Telegard Blue wave door running with netserial either. Not until I
MR> started running it asa door from sync did BW door start working.

The BlueWave door has been causing me no end of grief so it's temporarily not
available.  I posted a message in this echo a while back about the problem I
have with the door; mainly its insistence on adding my FidoNet node number to
*every* message uploaded through the door, even messages for other networks.

The only reason I'd run NetSerial is to bring up Cam-Blue 1.22 which is the
only functional (besides BlueWave itself) BlueWave-compatible maildoor for
PcBoard.  PcbWave 1.10 doesn't even run (runtime 200 error).  Cam-Blue runs
butCam DeBuck is nowhere to be found and the door runs in "demo"
(unregistered)mode which means the packets are DEMO.001, DEMO.002, etc.  I
don't like that.
So it's either just QWK and $0 towards NetSerial (I use NetFoss 1.0 which
workslike a champ) or $25 for NetSerial (to run Cam-Blue 1.22 and then I can't
register the Cam-Blue door).

MR> I like You have registered the PCB bw door and Cam mail. Back in the
MR> days when offline mail was real heavy it was worth it. I'd have to
MR> give netserial anotherlook with PCB.

Back in the day, I purchased keys for MarkMail, QMail, RoseMail and KMail. I
tried out DjMail (free QWK door) as well. Shoot, I even had the MegaMail door
installed and working.  Remember the UTIs? :-)

Cam-Mail and Cam-Blue came out after I took my BBS down the first time;
otherwise I'm sure that I would have registered them as well. :)  I do not
havekey-files for Cam-Mail or Cam-Blue.

MR> time being? Not even close to being that far. I just set this one up
MR> in PCB for now, Just to see if I could and to give me something to
MR> work with. But I have tried a fake qwk download and it worked. I opend
MR> the packet with a BW reader and it wasfine.

The BlueWave reader will work with QWK packets as well; my problem is with the
BlueWave door itself. :-)
