Hello Janis.

got it.
I and now self onto trting to getting the old modem mailer BinkleyTerm (BTXE)
setup and in same time the Fastlst program.

 JK> That sounds great :)  Thank you so much Gert :)

Right now is there a hole in my getting of the R50 FDNs and other FDNs as my
deliever of them not has been to gettng things from and checkig on for special
files from R50, so I now looking now for another good system in R50 to getting
the files from.
