Alright, after one week connected to the internet, and with the outstanding 
help of some of the people here, I've got my os/2 warp system running maximus 
and binkley to exit from binkley at 3 a.m., dial up my internet provider 
using ppp.exe, download all the newsgroups I want (using vsoup) and hanging 
up, then tossing the groups to bbs areas (using sqtool) and restarting the 
bbs.  Of course, I can't possibly leave well enough alone, and now would like 
to set things up to also dial up my isp, and then use ftp to connect to other 
boards, to pick up mail, or game packets, or what have you, and upload any I 
have for them to their incoming directory.  
I don't know much about ftp.  I did use ftpd to make the ftp connection and 
used ftppm to contact juge.com, and it worked.  Other than that, I have no 
clue as to what to do.  How are others doing this?  I want to stay away from 
dos apps.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
