Hi all.

Javing an issue here when Intern Rex is not starting in daemon mode like it is supposed to. I just get the top line of the screen, with my BBS name and then nothing else. Internet Rex just hangs. This happens with both the Windows version and the OS/2 version.

I have that happen from time to time -- the only cure I've found is
to replace all *.rex files from backup, erase the queue and hold directories, and hope for the best. Oh, and be sure to run the config (rexcfgw.exe) and open/close every menu -- then say Yes to saving
changes.

Thanks. Will have to give this a try and see what happens. Sad thing is it happens on a fresh install of the software as well :(

I know - it's the most fragile program I've got!! (apart from Windows
itself!)

Thanks, Matt - these 2 interest me; the others don't seem like to affect
the way I'm running.

You can get it from Janis Kracht. 2.29 is, I believe, the last "official release" of Internet Rex. 2.31 was supposed to be
available only to those of us who were beta testers at the time.

Ah, I see. Thanks! What changes are there from 2.29 to 2.31?
Anything significant?

Not sure. I never read any README files or WHATSNEW files :)

Hope another viable alternative happens. Im even willing to pay 30-40
for a decent program.

binkd is gui less, no need to pay

I feel the same way -- I did try binkd, but I'm (apparently) not smart enough to make it work!

did you ask in binkd echomail ?

NLMake is another one that's shaky -- I just had to reboot the machine (windows, of course) and not only did it corrupt the exe, but the
backup exe wouldn't work -- I finally copied a fresh exe from the distrib archive and all is well (for now!).

in that case i think windows needs a backup for fidonet

If someone decides to start development again but I highly doubt it
though.
They might as well update Frontdoor as well then too to coincide with
the
times.

Many of the developers are doing it out of goodwill and want to have a good coda to the bbs era, I am open to giving a 25-50 buck donation if the product is kick arse :)
