Ok, I did have bbs output the *.pkt file in folder \gap\gapnet\out and after
creating a mail message and running the export of the bbs package, it places
a *.pkt file there.  So how does DB know it is there, where do I put the path
for the pkt file?  In the DB\QUEUE\PACKETS folder?

As menioned above I changed it to the \gap\gapnet\out folder and when bbs
mailer exports it creates a *.pkt file.

I am running the bbs and mailers in a VM running Windows XP.

Originally before I told it to accept incoming calls all I did was receive
but never did try outbound but figured out how to tell it to accept incoming
calls.
