John Miller N1UMJ wEll, I know it's considered antiquated but I always had good luck with a software package called packet, I believe developed by a fellow in Australia for Packet radio. IT's a dos program, but I always found it quite good. I was using it with asap. IT had a good mailbox facility, captured everything to its log file when you were actually connected to somebody and had a good script language for retrieving things from packet buletin boards without human intervention. AS for windows, I don't know. I do dos or unix.
