Hello, Lee.

-=> Replying to a message of Lee Aroner to Sean Dennis:

 SD>> To get it via email FREQ:

 LA>    Interesting utility.
 LA>    What is it?

It's a feature of a program called Internet Rex.  Internet Rex is a
multifunction program whose main job is to handle echomail packets (in many
formats) over email attachments and FTP.  It can handle MIME-64, SEAT, AllFix, 
TransX and other formats as well.  The new version (2.0) that will be coming
out soon will even have its own built-in POP3/SMTP and FTP servers!  You can
check it out at http://plaza.v-wave.com/InternetRex or pick up the IREX echo.  
Its author is Charles Cruden (who haunts in here somewhere)... it's available
in OS/2, DOS, Win32 and Linux flavors.

I've found it's an indispensable program that I couldn't carry most of the 14
networks that I carry now. :)  The email FREQ feature is really cool... and
within that feature, there's even more cool features.  Internet Rex is US$25
to register (for up to 50 nodes).  It's the only shareware program that I've
registered to date and since I've been running it for well over a year (maybe
close to a year now), I can honestly say it's worth every single penny.

 LA>    Are you running Adept?
 LA>    ...

Nope.  I run Maximus/2 v3.01 and very happy with it.  Adept was too unstable
for my tastes (again, that's just my opinion).  Never tried PCBoard.  I have
heard that Gary Price (the new author of TriBBS) is dropping support for DOS
completely and moving the entire TriBBS line of programs to Windows.

Later,
Sean
