Allfix can use the Outlook Express mail spool as an Internet mailer and convert
to
inbound/outbound packets in fidonet technology.  The other way round needs
a gateway program.  For example, you use Internet Rex as a gateway.  You
use the SMTP/POP3 server build in Internet Rex to connect with your Outlook
Express:

  inbound POP3 =  localhost:110
  oubound SMTP =  localhost:25

You use the gateway features in Internet Rex to connect with the FTN
inbound/outbound spools.  On your tosser you configure the gateway as a
point from your main node number.  That works fine for netmail/email.

For echos/news you there is a util around that can read Squish echos
and makes them available as NNTP news, so you can read it in Outlook Express
or any other NNTP newsreaders.

Cheers

Ger
