Winserver uses 3 programs to be able to network.  I am using Platinum Express, 
Winserver and Internet Rex.  To begin, you have to first set up the mail conferences with 
wcConfig (part of Winserver), then use Platinum Express to add the conference areas to 
your network, then iRex to send and receive.

It's a very involved process that is very time consuming.  I was so happy to start using 
Mystic because of its ease of setting everything up.  I still rum Winserver, but made 
Mystic my hub for Health and HobbyNet networks.

Winserver does have a task manager built in, so I use that for my bot posts.
