assistant: * Crossposted from: ADEPT SysOp to SysOp support
To all experienced AdeptXBBS sysops:
I've looked into Adept for such a long time now, and I have scoured the DOCS.
However, I have YET to find something that will tell me how to do the
following:
1.  Login to my ISP's POP3 server and get all mail (they're all for me, of
course), then decode all UU/XX/MIME-coded mail into the incoming mail dir,
nd
then send all my outgoing internet email to the POP3 server....
	... then Toss the internet e-mail to the netmail area(s) and all
cho/netmail
messages to the echo/netmail areas.
I am still using Bink & Max/2 3.01, and I haven't seen a good PPP auto-dialer
(I can't register Injoy yet... no means) that will login to my ISP and let me
get / send all mail then logoff, then go back to Binkley, so I have turned
some
of my attention to Adept.
Will Adept help me on these needs of mine?  Or is there another BBS package
for
OS/2 that will do the trick?
My ISP doesn't feature UUCP, and offers only PPP access.
... I don't want to be...Solitary...Solitary...no.

Allfix is perhaps the most feature rich file processor ever made and works
very well in the above mentioned arena. I for one would very much like to see
the author of Allfix add Adept file area support.

Since none of these will actually do what you want, I suggest Sqtool, which

I had different but really WEIRD problems with Lantastic for OS/2 and
different applications, I just changed the driver for the network adapter I
was using and voila, it all started working peachy. My card is a NE2000
compatible, and the driver I'm currently using is called NS2000 and you can
find it in the Internet inside a package called FREETCP that lets you use the
IAK over a Lan. FREETCP can be found in www.shareware.com and if your card is
a NE2000 compatible you should give that driver a try.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
     I am using BinkleyTerm/2-XE Gamma 5 as my mailer.  What I am looking for
is a GUI mailer that at least supports Version 7 nodelist.  I have heard
about Cantaloup mailer.  But don't want to touch it because of it's lack of
English documentation.  I have also played with AdeptXBBS (mailer only mode)
and don't like it for it's apparent size and lengthy setup time.  Adept's
interface is nice, and all around a good package.  But since I am a mail only
site, the additional space used up for the BBS support that Adept has is not
really needed.  Are there any others in the works?  Just a simple answer will
do.  But for right now, I am happy with BinkleyTerm as it functions right
now.. 8-)

have quite a few nets that use QWK for netmail, and would like to be

in a position that I run Adept during the day, and switch back to
Wildcat at night for my netmail runs, etc. A little confusing for my
users, to say the least. I'd also like to figure out why message
attachments in QWK's and live logons never make it to the BBS.

Enable Write-Through is OFF (don't know this one either)
Don't see anything else that might relate to this.

Assuming that attachments work, where would the file be located? Does a

this is yes, does the file path get entered into the PATH field in the
