-> Can the wcICP for Wildcat 5.00 still be obtained ?

No.  At least I dont think you can actually buy it anymore since it is
basically included as part of the standard WINServer package.

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

Can you telnet to it with just wcOnline running and no virtual modem?

->  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 nee
-> to (1) handle mail and (2) have a compatible tosser/scanner right ? 

Because Platinum Xpress is the only tosser/scanner available for
WINServer. Period.

-> Does paying $100 for something that does not do BinkP sound right to you ?

In this case, it's the only choice we have.

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

Again, no.  It is an integral part of Platinum Xpress.  You need to
purchase PX to have that.  PXECHO.EXE is basically the all-in-one GUI
interface for the PXMAIL and PXTIC command line tools that are also a
part of Platinum Xpress.  So, no matter how you slice it, if you want to
carry FTN networks on WINServer or WC5, you need PX.
