Thanks, I may turn two of these 486's into the front end nodes for Tesla's Tower and use the P133 strictly as the main server, IF I can figure out all the things to do to make all the numerous door games run right that way. I wonder if I can make Bink take the mail via the 486 node, hand off to the server, and have the server handle the background tossing , I never run out of things to learn.

Actually, there are some programs out there that can make the file given a dorinfo or door.sys input. I have doorman here, but I've never had to use t. It will convert on the fly Maximus's Dorinfox.def files to pcboard.sys and .dat files. Those are binary files so it'll probably be hard to setup in a mec anyway :) Try browsing some BBS related FTP's or checking the local BBS's file base for it. --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Games Garden BBS[Saskatoon, SK] (306) 343-0709 (1:140/237) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 174 MUFFIN (MAXIMUS) Ref: EEB00012Date: 10/07/97 From: TARUN SINGH Time: 11:44am \/To: JACK SMITH (Read 1 times) Subj: Extracting Whole Message Areas TS> Please help me to find out the ftp site or where can i get TS> it JS> ftp.oeonline.com/pub/Maximus Thanks for your kind help Regards --Tarun --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Kalptaru Net India. http://www.kalptaru.com .

Think laterally Larry, did your sound card come with a program to 'speak' from a text file ??? like SBtalker ? use a mecca to write out a text file with the persons name in it and any thing else ytou want it to say.... like hello hello this is 'username' paging Larry. or some such ????
