subject: POTS mailer for Husky

Hello Russell,

 AI>> BinkleyTerm is the best for dialup.. :) BTW, do you have a linux
 AI>> binary of binkleyterm?

 RT> Yes it compiles under Linux very nicely, provided you remove the DOS
 RT> line endings in the make file, as per the DOCS. But I would prefer one
 RT> that does not rely on an outside application for compiling a V7
 RT> nodelist

Wow, vince did a good job with BinkleyTerm.. :) I always used a V7 nodelist
with BT but before V7 was popular the older format was used (called V6
maybe, I can't remember now). BT also can use that format if tools are
available to compile it. Never used it myself though so I don't know if it
would work or not.

 AI>> I have no idea about a dialup mailer for linux, aside from MBSE..
 AI>> :) D'Bridge is being developed (as a java app I believe) for
 AI>> linux although it may be some time coming.

 RT> D'Bridge is a DOS app, and probably a reasonably good one, otherwise
 RT> Ward would not have "stuck" with it all these years, but
just as I'd
 RT> like to get rid of the requirement for Fastlst for my mailer, so, I'd
 RT> rather not have to install JAVA, for an application such as D'Bridge

I'm looking forward to it, just so there are alternatives for fidonet.
We'll have to see how it goes. The idea I think is to make it work just as
it does now.

 Ttyl :-),
