I am not sure what JoHo has in his plans for FD. I like FD abd run it on one
of my addresses. There are some limitatiions to all this though. FD only
comes in DOS or OS2. If Sexpots came in an OS2 flovor I'd have people call
the mailer and transfer out to the BBS... As it stands now it doesn't do that.
I'm not a programmer, or do I play one on TV, but the solutions seems simple
enough. FD needs to come in other flavors, windows or linux, and all it
needs to do is handle fileboxes for some of it's outgoing mail. If it's a
modem, or vmodem, call it makes it. If its a binkp call then binkd makes it.
fmail can toss mail real nice as file attach or filesboxes. It wouldn't take
much effort to make things work, on the mail side anyway.
If what I read is correct.... the challange is to get the vmodem side to
work... not sure where I read that.
Fingers crossed... excied to see what comes of it.
