Wondering, is there a way to say, use the DOS (or OS/2) version of
Frodo, and have it load up your linux BBS?

I don't know.... Digital Man wrote a program that will answer the phone... POTS... and send you to the BBS via telnet... It can be called From a
mailer... and I guess pass you to a telnet BBS.

I read some time ago Robert Wolfe compiled this program to an OS/2 version. Anyway... it "Should" work... it does work as a stand alone

Yup, it's called SEXPOTS. I used it to allow dial-up access to Mystic.

You can download it from his site:

I'm going to have to pull at his coat tails and see. As far as I know there's only one mailer for linux (BinkD). I've downloaded and kinda
set up SOME things for IFMAIL, but it's really REALLY 'rough'.

I'm not fully sure what your goal is.... R U running Synchronet?? Synchronet has a Java app that polls to get mail called binkit.

More is coming. I heard D'Bridge is getting re-wrtiten in Java and will
work on any platform, it has a BinkD section to it already. you might want
to look into that program to see if there is any one running this mailer in Linux.

Anyway, good luck!!!!

I'm looking for another mailer thank binkd for linux to use for another BBS that I'm setting up. I was KINDA thinking of going with ifmail but setting it up it nothing like setting up bink(D)(P). looks A LOT tougher

Anyway, good luck!!!!

Thanks! I need it! :)
