Fidonet Portal
1. Compatablity with the recent binkp standard.
2. Compatablity with Synchronet's Binkit.
I had to use wwiv for echomail instead of winserver due to synchronet making
internet rex useless.

It is unlikely Irex will ever be updated...

How did that happen? I ran Internet Rex with Synchronet for a transx
connection for several years.

You think that BinkIT makes irex useless?

Wouldn't Linux have the same affect on D'bridge then?

Blasphemy... D'Bridge makes everything else useless.
And has more cowbell than Mystic.
I await the upcoming Synchronet 10 Sharks With Freakin' Lazers Edition.

There have been specific work-arounds implemented in BinkIT to accommodate bugs
in IRex. Perhaps your feed was just using an old version.

Matt, I think you were private when running irex, never heard of any issues.
I'd run irex in transx mode for one of the nodes in R10 and had a handful of
nodes using irex when I first started out with Radius. I've got one or two
now that are transferring without issue.
If you're inclined to test it out, I can set you up with another node
number. I'm running a newer version of Binkit, usually upgrade every 2-3
months at least.
... A closed system lacks the ability to renew itself.

As I posted earlier:
There have been specific work-arounds implemented in BinkIT (the FTN mailer
that comes with Synchronet) to accommodate bugs in IRex.
