Not sure how that's any easier than logging in with Syncterm and just 
getting the QWK packet the normal way, and then repeating for the .REP.  
Seems harder, actually.

Regardless, that isn't even what he was asking about.  He wanted to know 
if the QWK *READER* (such as Multimail or SLMR) would manage/handle the 
getting/sending of QWK packets, and I answered him appropriately.

I know that I absolutely would not.



... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
