[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] FIDO-point mailer problem

d88-psm@sm.luth.se (06/26/91)

	I am putting up an Amiga FIDO point. I use Chameleon, Fastpoint and
the usual ConfMail for Amiga. Now, my boss node use ZedZap (Zmodem) packets
when sending, but ConfMail doesn't support it, at least not the latest version
I've got, CM 1.20. I can't use Welmat or TrapDoor as my modem is manual
(I have to dial manually).

	Now, what do I do? Is there a point mailer that support ZedZap without 
Hayes modems? Or do I have to get a Hayes modem and use Welmat or TrapDoor
to get ZedZap compatability?

	Greatful for any help. Please reply by email.

:D

Okay.  First, let me let you know who I am, so things are clear.  I'm
the current developer for ConfMail.  Steve Palm, who is probably also
reading this, is the person I took it over from.

I can guarantee that ConfMail is not compatible with ZedZap, or any
other mailer protocol:  it's not a mailer.  It's a mail
tosser/scanner.  If it's zedzap you need, it's TrapDoor you'll use.
What you need to use is TrapDoor's "IMMEDIATE" mode.  Trapdoor boss
whatever immediate.  That should work.  Look up the immediate command
in the trapdoor manual.

And if you have any other problems, don't hesitate to mail.
