hunh?

i /think/ you are saying that you have one bbs with an internal tosser and
you are wanting to set up another bbs as a point and use FE on this point
system... is this correct?

if so, there is nothing to do in FE concerning the existing bbs with
builtin tosser... FE doesn't care about it at all... think straight down
the line and you'll see why... FE only cares about its inbound, outbound
directories and where to toss/scan the mail to/from...

hint: you're existing system would create mail bundles and pkts for the new
point then your processing .bat file (or whatever) would move only the
stuff for the point to the point's inbound directory... at some point in
time, the point's stuff would then process its inbound mail...

you'd have the same thing for outbound from the point... it would generate
the outbound mail bundles and pkts which would then need to be moved to
your existing system's inbound for processing...

the above is assuming you are going to be doing this all on one physical
machine and don't want to have to use a mailer to talk to the other system
but that can also be done under the right circumstances instead of the
physical moving of the files... of course, if you are going to do this on
two machines, then a mailer is the better way unless you have drives mapped
across the network but that can get sticky at times...
