I used to be Florian_Lohoff at 2:2449/845 - While googling for it i found different Amiga binarys for TrapDoor and CNet :) e.g.: http://de3.aminet.net/comm/cnet/MMDel08.readme How do others read/write mails? Is there a local gate possibility to use mutt/vim?

There should also a way to setup Trapdoor to use telserv.device so that you can use an IP connection instead, but I haven't figured out how to set it up correctly. This is on my todo list for this weekend... ;) > How do others read/write mails? Is there a local gate possibility to > use mutt/vim? Not that I know of. Of course you could use ifmail to gate the message to inn2d or so. But for me the fun/joy is to use my old computers for this. Finally I want to have a my A3000 running my Fidonet node and my BBS (incl. full Aminet mirror (I'm operating de6.aminet.net)), using MailManager, Trapdoor or GMS-Mailer and either Excelsior!BBS or some other software. If that is working, I maybe move it over to an Raspberry 3 to save some bugs for electrical power... ;) On Linux side you can use Husky as tosser, GoldEd as editor and binkd/qico as mailer, whereas qico seems to be the better choice for me (supporting both EMSI and binkp) whereas binkd only provides binkp protocol. -- Ingo Juergensmann AmigaXess Fidonet Node at 2:2452/413
