You cannot mix a DOS mailer with a Windows based modem program... that's
it... download, setup, and test this yourself it does not work.

If you have wcOnline I'm sure your BBS has telnet... get your users to call
your BBS with that... there is absolutely no need to have a mailer pass a
user...  If you want a mailer... setup whatever you want  and let it run
independently of the BBS....

BTW, I have PXW running with WINServer... if you were to call that port PXW
would hangup on you and say it's a mail only line.  There is no need to have a
mailer with the BBS to process human callers... I have 12 nodes and one is
eaten up with mail processes... and that leaves me with 10 nodes more than I
currently need.

If you don't believe me that it doesn't work... download the programs and put
some time in to see if they work...

I only have a half dozen files on my system... They are the only 2 that say
they are WC5 mail tossers... They are there for you...

Enjoy!!!!
