 RW> Yeah, your version required the wcICP (Wildcat! Internet Connectivity

Can the wcICP for Wildcat 5.00 still be obtained ?

Sounds like it will work with Wildcat 5.0 since this version [surprisingly]
comes with a telnet server (contrary to the documentation).

 RW> Yeah, Dale Barnes is the current author of InterMail and InterEcho. 
 RW> There WAS a third party mailer that worked like PX/WINS called 
 RW> Mail-Ennium/32, but it went the way of the dodo. 

Why would a 3rd party mailer need to work with Platinum Xpress ? it just needs
to (1) handle mail and (2) have a compatible tosser/scanner right ?

 RW> 
 RW> No.  It only supports modem or virtual modem (via Netserial)

Does paying $100 for something that does not do BinkP sound right to you ?
 
 -> If "pxmail.exe" only works with Platinum Xpress then it is no good to me.

 RW> PXMAIL.EXE is the command line version of PXECHO.EXE basically.  It

 RW> PXECHO.EXE apparently does not let you do. 

Can PXECHO.EXE work with a mailer other than Platinum Xpress ?
