Hello All!

I currently run my bBS (the one I am posting this message from)
on a WIndows Server 2003 R3 machine and using the Win32 version
of FXUUCICO to do usenet and email runs via UUCP over TCP. I was
wondering if there was an OS/2 port of this that will do the same
thing and use my existing configuration files?

- Thanks!
- Robert

an os/2 port of fxuucico? i'm not sure... maybe a native version but i'm not sure on that, either... i used to run waffle bbs as a door under my RA and i had fxuucico on the back side pulling email and news but i don't recall if that
was on the DOS side of my os/2 or not... when i went to GIGO, i used whatever it had and then later was able to use the GIGOTCP addon package... i was previously doing everything over POTS and was then able to get a better connection to the 'net... unfortunately i don't have that stuff any more as i've had to update the hard drives a time or two and that resulted in only the important stuff being moved over before the old drives died...

a CTRL-F search for fxuucico in my browser gives only two results... the DOS version and the documentation... apparently there's only the DOS version and i know that it works fine on the DOS side of os/2...

Ok, I will have to see if I can find the OS/2 version of GIGO with the
GIGOTCP addon. Will keep you posted if I find anything.

Thank you for the starting point, though. It should help.

Yeah, I downloaded the ones released by Jason as well as the
source code yesterday. Will take a peek at them this weekend
hopefully.
