I guess I just am missing the clues on how Irex operates. I am thinking it
works like FD as a mailer. I just must be reading it wrong and too fast or
something.... Right now I am *appeased* with Taurus. It seems to be doing
what I needed after getting some english help files, THANKS to Fidonet (the
usenet posts got me no where) I can figure out what all the menus do and
get them setup.

I've got things resolved that way. While I am still a big FD fan, Taurus
seems to be what FD was at the time and probably still is if you operate
dialup, the top of the line.

While I'd like to see an IP capable FD, I am not really a programmer so OSS
or not is not a big deal...I am just a happy FD x-user and BIG FAN of FD.
If OSS'ng helps to move it forward great! I'd just like to see the top
mailer move into the IP realm.

I chose to get back into Fido as I think theres somethings it has to offer
over webnet that the Internet has been morphed into, and thats not a good
thing the morphing of the Internet. Plus it gives me a project to play with
too.

 JS> Anyway... what BBS software R U using??

No BBS, I am a mail only node, I never ran a BBS even when I was in Net 129
back in the late 80's and early 90's. Just FD and GIGO and BGFAX. I was
quite the little FTN, uucp, fax guru at the time. Looking back over some
things...I think...boy have I forgot alot.
