No tick file handling is not an immediate requirement, what is however is a 
quick working point system, that can do POTS dial-out, and act basically as a 
"bridge system" between the system being called and the main/my
system out to 
the rest of FidoNet ...

They are running a very strict security setup their and the SYSOP is currently 
in Australia for 2-3 months still, so cannot make changes for direct POTS or 
Internet connection, but in the mean time a bridge system is required.

GoldEd works fine here with MBSE BBS as well, if you can help with config 
files for ifcico/crashmail, to give me a jump-start so to say, that might 
help, just that I ran BinkleyTerm/Squish/TimED under OS/2 and DOS before that, 
before moving on to Linux Husky and then MBSE BBS. So I am reasonably 
comfortable with how they work, but another simple/easy to implement system is 
also welcome, the less "hoops" I have to jump thru to make it
work/function as 
desired, the better ...

Am running Debian
