EG> MultiLine, EASY TO MAINTAIN, be able to use VModem with it and EG> allow users to TelNet in as well as Landline... Don't need Vmodem as it supports TCP/IP directly. On incoming calls, new tasks are started to handle the incoming call. When no-one is logged on by TCP/IP you only have one task waiting for TCPIP connections. Maintenance: well some things are configured by text editor, but that shouldn't scare anyone. EG> Remote Sysop functions a BIG plus... What's this? PS. Has also tic processor, SMTP support (e-mail using smtp), NNTP support (news from news server), etc. -Jani --- * Origin: I DO NOT want any win95 support to ruin my OS/2!

Sure I have and use it every day. I just didn't realize that the tools were in the archive. I thought it was a separate archive. I must have deleted the tools way back when I first got infozip. I've got them online here so can dig 'em out if I need 'em. Don't think I will since I understand it doesn't span disks which is what I was interested in. -Elliott Internet: sysop@miles.tbie.hms.com, elliottg@juno.com, elliottg@qnet.com Written on Thursday, 6 Mar 1997 ...

I say this because my shareware utilities are NOT required to be registered. My documentation clearly states: CDRMAIL is shareware. However, it is *NOT* the normal shareware. You re NOT required to register. From an author's point of view, if something was supposed to be registered, it would say you are required to register. And it does not say that. C.
