I currently do not understand how WC5 can receive a call from an external mailer if there is no command on the WC5 side to receive a live connection. In previous versions of Wildcat the "wildcat.exe" command supported the "/B <baud>" switch to pass a live connection to the BBS.

Can I scan new messages from WC5 to Internet Rex, BinkD or D'Bridge ? if so, then what tools do I need to do it ?
