Hi Benny,
 In a message dated 17 May 03 you wrote to All :

 BP> to neil, http://qico.sf.net/ is my client used to connect to you :)

Cool stuff; a standard Fido mailer over telnet (using TelSer device here, currently) is my preferred way of doing things at the moment.

In fact, I now get all my mail using this method. I used to tunnel it to my uni email address, but this is inefficient (33% overhead with base64 and uuencode) and can be time consuming to do without a good client side script. Now I have ADSL on the BBS (and unmetered access from my house at uni), I can poll anytime and at no extra cost.. :)

BinkP I currently only use to call out with; I use Bink4D from Aminet and (since the w*n*er didn't include the GPL source) I have a 4D capable version I built on the original source - I can't remember whether I got this to work properly or what happened or even if I'm using it right now; certainly I didn't release it publically.

Neither version work particularly well.

The second caller there is the only recent one which wasn't me - have you configured your Qico correctly or do you have an alias ? :)

Ah, it's exciting having a 24h multiline BBS :) at last.. I'm going to be spending a lot of time this summer redoing the mess the BBS has got into over the last few years. With only a few occasional callers, and most activity being Fido related, I've left a lot of things to go out of date or be left unfinished..

 BP> i don't have modem atm on my linux box :(

I plan to phase out modem access to my BBS; keep it on for emergencies, outgoing calls and the like, but phase it out for public use.
