I use a slightly different approach here, all my mail is handled (IE scanned 
and packed) for HOLD. At an appropriate SQUISH event, anything that needs to go 
via the PSTN gets changed by Squish to either NORMAL or CRASH as required. 
Mail for my IP nodes is left as HOLD. As I run under OS/2, my background mail 
processing task (it checks for work every 1 minute) runs a REXX script that 
checks my outbound areas and if it finds any traffic for any IP node mentioned 
in my BinkD control file, it then automatically generates a BinkD .ILO file and 
that triggers BinkD to make an IP connection to deliver that mail. It works 
great.

Cheers...............pk.
