assistant: On 07-19-95 Justin Broadbent said to All  about Qmodem protocols
setup?
Justin,
        You can't add external protocols to the Windows version. They
are not compatible with Windows Comm programs. The only exception is
HS-LINK. There is a special version of it for Procom Plus for Windows.

5.0. Comit is the worst program I have ever tried to use. Has long been
deleted...hehehe. On my mail network, I still use Telix...only because
the script was easier to write. But Qmodem is tops in my book. Congrats
to mustang software. Only one thing I don't understand about it. What is
the qmodem.bew? Will come up sometimes and say something about being
deleted. Well...now at least there's two of us. Later

Proper syntax to send email to Fidonet from Internet is:
  firstname.lastname@p#.f#.n#.z#.fidonet.org
To send mail to a FidoNet user, you not only need the name, but the
exact FidoNet address s/he uses. FidoNet addresses are broken down into
zones, net, nodes, and (optionally) points.  For example, the address of
one Fido BBS is "1:102/834". The zone is 1, the net is 102, the node is
834. A user's address could include a point as well: "1:102/834.1" - the
final 1 is the point. So, to send mail to "John Smith" at Fido address
"1:102/834", e-mail to "firstname.lastname@f834.n102.z1.fidonet.org.  To
send mail to that user at Fido address "1:102/834.1", e-mail to

three BBS's I get mail from (one is a GAP BBS running Mainmail and the
other is a Wildcat board running wcMAIL.)  I would like to be able to
start the script, leave for work, and when I get home, have the program
call the bbs's, log in, upload a .rep packet, download the new .qwk
packet and log off.  I need to have this happen by itself (without me
having to stand by it and help it.)  The few scripts I have made with
QmodemPro always stop in the middle of the script and never restart or
continue.  I've looked at Mustang Software BBS HQ and they have nothing
that will do this.  Any one have sucess with this??

Dave,
        Go to the dialing directory, select the board you want RIP on,
press R for revise. When the revision window comes up click on
Emulation, the default is usually ANSI, and change it to RIP. Save the
change and the next time you call the BBS it should detect your RIP
emulation and away you go.

You can Contact Mustang Software at 1-800-999-9619 but you would be better
off purchasing the package from a retail vendor as the price will be
considerably lower.  MSI only sells at the MSRP.  Qmodem can usually be had
at Comp USA, Egghead, Software Etc, as well as a number of mail order

Create a phone book entry for the BBS being called (alt D) and select the
RIP terminal emulation instead of ANSI.  If the BBS being called does
not have auto-detect like Wildcat! BBS, then you will need to select the
