    Is PC Micro "cripleware?"

    I would not call it cripleware. I don't use it on my linux box but I have used stuff from PC Micro in the past with good results.

    NetFoss is free and works wonders for those who need it.

    I know that NetSerial will run fully functional for a period of time and then not so much so until it is registered. However, I am not sure if Mike is still
    running the Sysop deal for NetSerial registrations, but I know at one point it was relatively inexpensive for Sysops to purchase a NetSerial license. I have been a licensed user of NetSerial since back when it used to be called Com/IP.

    Peace,
    Robert

    The fossil is free but the NetSerial is demo for 30 days. For the 25.00 sysop deal, I purchased two and happy with my purchase.

    I bought NetSerial for my WinServer bbs (wildcat) to use with their
    mailer PXW and I connect seamlessly with other bbs's using same. It
    does not that I know of connect to a binkp site.
