Well I think that is where there is a glitch now...
Is the JamNNTPD echo good for crashmail? As I've seen it discussed there or is
LINUX or LINUX_UBUNTU better?????

Well that doesn't appear to be the case... as I entered a message in Golded and
then ran crashmail, and it didn't appear to do much of anything...
I used the package that is in 14.04 ESR
sudo apt-get install binkd
So it starts up automatically when the system does, so I take it this is via
inetd as I am not seeing anything else...to start it...
And trying to get it to do a manual poll of the local net host doesn't seem to
work.. the only way to get that to work is to kill -9 binkd pid and then sudo
binkd -P1:135/0 binkd.cfg .
This seemed to be so much easier in the days of DOS! :) ;) :0 I knew FD in and
out...
To say I am a little frustrated right now... when I setup things like this
including UUCP and stuff with ease...when UUCP was "the game."
Any hints or pointers greatly appreciated... Thank you.
