However, if you want to run doors under NT, you can at least get your mailer
as 32-bit. I just switched from Binkley to Argus, a wonderful 32-bit NT
mailer. I can pass the COM port from this program to Max DOS with no
problem. I think Argus will be the next big thing in the Fidonet world, but
that's off-topic for this echo, I'll save that for the Argus echo =)
