Well I think that is where there is a glitch now...

Is the JamNNTPD echo good for crashmail? As I've seen it discussed there or is 
LINUX or LINUX_UBUNTU better?????

 AI> Yes, that's right.

Well that doesn't appear to be the case... as I entered a message in Golded and 
then ran crashmail, and it didn't appear to do much of anything...

I used the package that is in 14.04 ESR

sudo apt-get install binkd

So it starts up automatically when the system does, so I take it this is via 
inetd as I am not seeing anything else...to start it...

And trying to get it to do a manual poll of the local net host doesn't seem to 
work.. the only way to get that to work is to kill -9 binkd pid and then sudo 
binkd -P1:135/0 binkd.cfg .

This seemed to be so much easier in the days of DOS! :) ;) :0  I knew FD in and 
out...

To say I am a little frustrated right now... when I setup things like this 
including UUCP and stuff with ease...when UUCP was "the game."

Any hints or pointers greatly appreciated... Thank you.
