Subj : fido To : ROBERT WOLFE From : ROBERT WOLFE Date : Fri Jun 12 2015 07:04:00 -> hi everyone just a question for fellow sysops out there, for fidonet do you -> really need any external programs? i checked my docs for synchronet 3.16 and -> says sbbsecho program does it all -> i set it up like docs say and tried a cpl times to send a mail to my -> coordinator so i could get a node number how do i know if its working? -> also if i try to set up any third party tossers they seem to wreck my messag -> base even if i follow complete synchronet step by step procedures for those -> programs. First, you might want to change your user name. Second, SBBSECHO does NOT handle the actual transport of the mail packets -- you still need something like Argus or Internet Rex to do that. Also, SBBSECHO does NOT handle the processing of TIC files. You will need something like Allfix! to do that. Who is your NC by the way? .... I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done. --- Wildcat! v6.4.454.2 (Nov 17 2011), Editor Mod v1.7 þ wcQWK 6.4 ÷ Omicron Theta BBS * Memphis, TN * winserver.us .
