As it stands now there is no way, that I know of, to send a user to the BBS via DOS version of FD.
On the mailer side there might be a way. I see JoHo, the author of FD responded back to you... I'd have to go through what he was saying to respond back... it could be done... This is what I do....
The simplest way to do this is use some of the mailers out there that support BSO... FD does not currently do this without some work. If you used the windows version of Binkleyterm it'll work juat fine... With
the use of sexpots, a program Digital Man wrote, you can have users
access the BBS via that dialup line.

Why not build in the exact same functionality directly into
Mystic BBS itself? Would that not be easier?

BSO being ... static ... something?
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.

I'm not sure what this "Fileboxes" is, but if it's anything FrontDoor's Spool Directories, then FD already handles it, but perhaps it handles it differently than "Fileboxes".

yes, fileboxes are the same as spool directories... anything you
drop in them is automajikally flicked over the wall and appears
in the destination system's inbound...
now the question is if i can have FD and binkd both working with
the same filebox/spool directories so that mail can be picked up
by either method... i've been keeping them split and only doing
part of my config steps when i add a new telnet connected node...
when i add a binkp connected node, i have several more steps to
do...
I'll explain quickly... easy as pie. With modern internet mailer
setup Binkd, InterNet Rex, whatever, you can have pre-defined
directories assigned to a node whereby any files put in that
directory will be sent to that node.
Seems like FD must be a modern Internet mailer then :)

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.

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.

I was reading mark's message, one ortwo back, I'm not sure where the configuration effort would be. If a mail tosser like fmail or even
Mystic could toss mail into a binkd filebox, for the binkd nodes it could, with no effort, through FD mail into its static queues.
Yeah, I prefer FastEcho myself since the fmail author seems to have no desire to port it over to OS/2.
What language it is written in anyway?

I don't think sexpots would work anyway, since FD still needs to be listening on a com port -- virtual or otherwise.

You can define a filebox in fmail for every configured node. But see my remarks to marc. In just a binkd + fmail environment I would strongly advice against using fileboxes!
I was thinking most mailer tossers have mailer support in them... and
I just opened up your package and you've taken that out.... OMG...

mailer/FD support. I downloaded fmail and looked up mailer support...
I know it was in the old version...

Mailer
The mailer program you are using. Supported mailers are
FrontDoor, InterMail, D'Bridge, Binkley, Portal of
Power, MainDoor and Xenia. If your mailer is compatible
with any of these, it can be used too.

The last fmail release (1.60 from 2001) by the original
author was available in os2 flavour (and dos too). But
since I have no os2 environment and no development tools
and no knowledge of os2, I'm concentrating my efforts on
32/64 bit windows and linux environments...

I agree. I'd go with Eb7 with a funk beat.
At least I know you could lay down the beat for me, D.M. :)

The question here is: How do I create these spool directories? Every
time I try to enter the STQ it says that there is no queue
available... Is there a file that needs to be edited?

you have to use xrobot to do the queue thing but FD should create the queue automatically, AFAIK... i'm pretty sure that FD will create it
and maybe it is telling you that because there's nothing in it?? my fastecho and allfix both use FD's STQ to queue mail and files for sending... i have another tool which uses it when moving mail and
files to my binkd BSO stuff... the thing is that i don't know if i can point both FD and binkd to the same filebox/spool directory... i mean, sure, i can but i don' tknow what will happen if both try to deliver
the same file at the same time from the same filebox directory... the chances of that should not be very large at all but some systems that
can handle multiple protocols might try to connect using more than of
them at once...
