It's simply incredible what John Jaros said to Gaylen Hintz
 JJ> This is GREAT news Gaylen! I'm familiar with the Silver
 JJ> Express SX401 reader, and it's goodies that go along with the
 JJ> mailer. This is most excellent news for MacroBBS SysOps with
  hehehehe, I thought you might enjoy the news! :)
 JJ> shareware market, and is, when used with {COMMO}, far and away
 JJ> better than 1st Reader/Mailer, BlueWave Reader/mailer, and the
 JJ> current 'power' systems available. The door supports file
  Oh yeah it's nice but I am a registered user of the Blue Wave
reader so I'm also kind of partial to that system as well.  Now if I
can find the Blue Wave door that will work with RBBS... hmmm,  maybe
I can kludge that one in as well since we have a lot of Blue Wave
users up here.
 JJ> requests and other services. The Reader is speech software
 JJ> sensitive. The product is not overly crippled, and is
  Yep, it also has a vacation server in it as well!  You can go on
vacation, request the sysop to set up the vacation schedule for you,
and the sysop sets up a nightly event that will grab your mail
packets, pack them for you and have them all available when you get
back.  That's a nice feature especially when you are running fidonet

 JJ> reasonably priced. The company, Santronics Software, had a $10

 JJ> {commo} users. Their front line product seems to be another
 JJ> product ("Gold something or other"). Based on the number of
  Yep, that's the Gold Express, a combination terminal program and
off line mail reader that are all integrated into one package.
 JJ> different variations on this mailer, we may very well be able
 JJ> to talk the author into making us a MacroBBS specific reader.
  Well, since I do carry that echo... I'll drop him a line and see
what he has to say. :)  Would be great if it could be easily done
though I'm not sure if he would be willing to do it. 
 JJ> In the meantime Gaylen, if you could create a batchfile or
 JJ> document the kludge, to help others install this RBBS ver.
 JJ> Mailer, that would be great. Ding dong, the wicked QWK is
 JJ> dead. :)
 Sure will, will have a post in this mail packet documenting what I
did to get it up and running. :)
  Cheers and have a great day!  From the Curmudgeon of MacroNet!
