    Is that the mailer for wildcat? There are some in net5 running wildcat that might be able to help. If not just do some testing in FSX_TST and we'll let you know what we see.

    I'm having trouble just getting started with it. But yes it is for Wildcat.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It's been years since I did it. From what I remember you want to toss
    to directories and then have binkD look in those directories to send
    the mail.

    Also when you get it working make sure you back it up as PX will crash
    many many times and unless you like re adding all your areas again you'll
    want that backup.

    It works, but just.

    ... It would be illogical to assume that all conditions remain stable.

    I feel like there has to be a better or native way. I've got platnum xpress setup with VMODEM but I'm also getting Platnum doesnt have blinkp support
    built in.
