I don't know about 95, but here's the FAQs for NT.  You can use Bink/32 and 
Max/NT under NT just fine.  But, with this combo, you can NOT use any 16-bit 
doors.  You can use Bink/DOS and Max/DOS under NT (with a fossil) and then 
you can use 16-bit doors.  NT will not allow you to pass an open COM port 
from a 32-bit app to a 16-bit app.  The only other option is a mialer called 
Argus, which is 32-bit (native NT), which as a special work around to pass 
the COM port to Max/DOS.  Then at least your mailer is 32-bit even if Max is 
still dos.  I don't know anything about Wildcat.  Enough info? =)
