I got it to poll finally by doing a little tinkering.  I am thinking of running
Telegard/2 in replacement since I already run BBBS for Win32.  You know, a
little more variety, spice of life.  I will have to take a look at IREX.  What
mailer do you use with Telegard/2?  I was looking for Telegard earlier, wasn't
sure if I wanted to run it on my Win32 machine or in an OS/2 VM.  One thing I
like about VM I like is that it's easier (with time) to make a backup of the
whole OS (including all the files).  I've been using VirtualBox for awhile now
and love it.  I didn't make any changes to BBBS as far as AT commands, just the
default.  Yet, it still works.  I'm using Virtual Modem (which I'm considering
registering) for more than 2 nodes.  My question is how might I use othernets
besides Fidonet (Z1).  I use the

[ftndomains]
^[1-6]: fidonet
^316: whispnet
^10: league10

Yet, it still reads as one zone when connecting to BinkD.  That doesn't work
for me like the Win32/Linux build does.  I'll see if Kim has an OS/2 update.

Anyway, BBBS/2 and BinkD (Linux build) work pretty good together for me.

Thanks for the response.
