Ummmm, not frontdoor because it's a DOS based mailer... BUT I'm sure you an
with Windows based mailers...

I use to go from BGFax Win32 to WC5 back in the day... I bet some answers
could be in a BGFax doc because the transfer of a call from that program
should be no different.  You just can't mix DOS with windows stuff...

An other thought... did you know Digital Man, of SynchroNET fame, wrote a
small app called SexPOTS, I think, and what it does is takes a call, itself,
or can take a hot call passed by a mailer... and send that call via telnet to
whatever address you want the call.

BTW, I know it's your money... but for a 100 bucks you can get the mailer and
echomail tosser companion for the BBS package.  Santronics has a sale every
now and then and mark down the prices ...

Anyway, Look at the BGFax docs and see how they did it, I did it 25 years ago
so I know it can be done... Look at SexPOTS and Bink Win/32 as a possible
solution... Or spend the 100 bucks and get a complete package...  If you were
going to spend the money call Andrea today and say that I heard that hobbyist
sysops are getting a deal on PXW is that true??  See what she says.  We're all
just Whores in need of money

Good Luck
