I've tried to run it on mandrake and it won't go here either. Error 11.
Rexcfgl runs fine (for the most part) but rexl won't go. The docs say error
11 is probably a bug in rex. Maybe the next version will be better on
linux.

I've run the win and os2 versions of rex without much trouble (though it
does trash it's config files at times, I've always kept them backed up).
Irex is an FTN solution bar none, I hope Charles doesn't give up on it.

I don't know of anything like Transx, but emailpkt might do the job (but I
haven't tried myself yet).

 Ttyl :-),
