Hi! Wilfred,

Yep, I'm watching.  I'll get to re-configuring things here on the weekend...

I have had many links using it over the years but it gets little to no use
these days.  But it's more than you're thinking of.  It's original purpose
is to provide a mailing listechomail gateway, either
locally-hosted echomail areas or remote groups.  Netmail can be shoved
through to email as well, and vice-versa.

It's called Transnet but is somewhat 'dated', from pre-1998.  The distro
archive is available via FREQ from -this- node as 'tn211.zip' (minus
quotes).  I also have the required Windows utils and the sources for the
following version (mostly C, C++ and some object files).

Cheers,
Paul.
