Hi, Andrea.  

 AS> The last version of Maximus that Silver Xpress directly supported was
 AS> 2.x. The Door will work with some adjustments with Max 3.x but a few

I knew about the Max 2.x business, and made such adjustments as I knew
about.

 AS> generally handled offline, it's possible that offline mail

 AS> sysops running  Maximus.

Will have to see about that.

 AS> The Silver Xpress Door is free for 1-3 line systems.  The SX Reader is
 AS> $25.00.

Okay, well, my BBS is a one-line system, so I'm okay there.  And without
the offline configuration, I don't have much use for the reader, since
Bluewave is working okay, and that already cost me about $20-$30.

BTW, I was interested in that Fax capability stuff that -seems- to be
there.  Doesn't seem to work, either, though.  Did that normally
interact with some external fax-sending utility?  Is that still out
there somewheres?  If not, is any info available as to how that
interaction took place?  Can't see a point to letting anybody but me to
use such a thing, but it looks like a Cool Feature.  And since I already
have BGFax set up to send faxes, thought it'd be kinda cool to be able
to send faxes that way.

Oh, and there's that registration thing that also seems to be there.  Am
I correct, the Reader attempts to send a registration netmail to you via
Fidonet?  If so, clever idea.  Looked like it worked that way, anyway.
