    Does anyone use Binkleyterm as an internet mailer? I had tried to get it to compile in Visual Studio 2013 but haven't quite got it yet. I would love get it
    up and running with maximus on windows 7.

    it can be if you use a ""shim"" that emulates a modem (aka virtual modem) and speaks telnet... i use frontdoor in exactly this fashion...

    good luck! the code hasn't changed but the compilers have... some things that used to be OK to do are likely not allowed these days ;)

    On my quest to make old frontend mailers work with Netserial/32 i've also used FD, PoP, Binkley and T-mail. I remember in my own local area West Virginia Net Tom Freeman, ran a PCboard system called Project Enable for the Disabled. He loved his Binkley/Squish system. He was my Hub for fido and ripnet!
