 RW> TerMail utility and if so, if they could post the info needed to set
 RW> IREX up with Termail.

If you have both programs already set up, it's quite easy.

Verify where your In and Outbound directories are in TERMINATE.  
Most likely, they will be  C:\TER500\IN and C:\TER500\OUT\ZONE  

Go into IREX configuration (REXCFGW for Win).  Select "Files, Paths & 
Programs" then "Frontend Mailer".  

Change the "Inbound Directory" and "Outbound Directory" to match 
the paths that are used for TERMINATE.  

That's it!  What you have done is substitute IREX for TERMINATE.  
Instead of dialing out with TERMINATE, IREX does the mail run 
for you.  And, you can still use the TERMINATE Point module to 
do a dialout if needed.  

Bear in mind, there still may be parametersd to be set in IREX.  It 
will need to know how you connect to the internet.  Also, it will 
need to know where to find the node(s) you contact as well as your 
password to log in and get your mail.  Though IREX already knows 
where to place new mail and find your outgoing, it's going 
to need how the packets are set, such as Bink, etc.  As above, 
if you already have IREX logging into your node and getting mail, 
that should be it.  (unless you want to run BLUEWAVE for your OLR!)  

Yes, I use BW as my OLR.  I rarely use TM as my reader.
