Hi! Gaylen,

No doubt it is a different science entirely from running FrontDoor, or Irex.  I 
know the feeling: I started in early '94 with FrontDoor, alternately using the 
commercial & non-commercial versions.  Fortunately, the whole configuration 
(including a RemoteAccess BBS) blew itself away in the 'big bang' of November 
'98.

During reconstruction, I commenced using BinkleyTerm (and a Mystic BBS, later). 
 Binkley gave me the edge I needed to work on a binkD arrangement as well; 
since all of my Fidonet links were LD, it made sense to explore an IP method of 
exchanging mail & files.  So, there was a time when I was running both Bink & 
binkD.  Then I discovered Argus, and later Radius: the best ever mailer 
arrangment of its time.

Pray, tell us more of this Trapgate thing.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
