Hi! Michiel,

In a message to Andre Grueneberg you wrote:

Such a switch is painless.  I went through it back in 1998/1999 after a machine crash, and then rebuild.  First to BinkleyTerm (BT), then BT+binkD shortly afterward when a local mail link 'pulled the pin' and I had to get mail from a l-o-n-g distance source.  A couple of years later and I was running Argus, and then Radius since 2002/2003.

Just recently, I had to revert to just using BinkD on a backup machine which is why I've since dropped all mention of telnet-like protocols in my nodelisting.  Some people use BT+binkD to utilise BT's poll manager function (and I can still as I continue to ensure BT's nodelist indexes are maintained) but I use Windows' own scheduler, to keep it simple (KISS).

What is it that scares you, Michiel?

Cheers,
Paul.
