That would depend on the software, in my case PXW (my only choice with
Wildcat)cannot automatically do crash to any node as it was POTS designed. I
can connect to nodes via Vmodem, FTP, BinkP etc but those nodes need to be
configured in PXW already for it to do it automatically.

It would be a nice feature, which is why many Wildcat sysops have requested
BinkP be built in to PXW but it is highly unlikely to happen or at least in
the near future.

Sending Netmail direct is not a requirement but it would be a positive for
some folks, I am sure there would be other software with the same issue as PXW
so it becomes a nice to have but not a requirement due to backward
compatibility issues.
