-> I understand that my version of WC5 is a Windows 32-bit GUI application. 
-> However my version is apparently not WINServer (as detailed in its
connectio 
-> banner). (Notice from the following banners that one says WINServer and the 
-> other does not).

Yeah, your version required the wcICP (Wildcat! Internet Connectivity 
Pack) addon which basically makes it WINServer.  I believe that startin 
with 5.3, that was included in the package from that version on. 
 
-> Does SexPOTS work with virtual modems (eg. an inbound call via TCP/IP) ? 
 
It could, but it was designed for use with programs like Mystic or 
Synchronet for Windows that do not natively have modem code built in, 
but can handle telnet sessions.  Which in essence would make it a dialup 
to telnet shim of sorts.

Yeah, Dale Barnes is the current author of InterMail and InterEcho. 
There WAS a third party mailer that worked like PX/WINS called 
Mail-Ennium/32, but it went the way of the dodo. 
 
-> Is InterMail a Frontdoor clone ? (it looks like a lot like Frontdoor). 
 
Originally based on FrontDoor code, yes. 
 
-> Does Platinum Xpress support BinkP ? 
 
No.  It only supports modem or virtual modem (via Netserial) 
connections.  I use PX/WINS side by side with Internet Rex which handles 
my binkp transfers. 
 
-> If "pxmail.exe" only works with Platinum Xpress then it is no good to me. 
 
PXMAIL.EXE is the command line version of PXECHO.EXE basically.  It 
allows you to scan and toss mail packets from the command line, which 
PXECHO.EXE apparently does not let you do.
