332.0. "LOOKING FOR A MAILBOXPRG." by HAMSUP::PETERSEN () Wed Dec 07 1988 10:04

I'M LOOKING FOR AN MAILBOXPROGRAM, WHICH WORKS WITH
    A HAYES MODEM. I HAVE TRY A FEW, BUT THERE WAS NO GOOD
    ONE. IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE, WHO WROTES SUCH A PRG,
    LET ME KNOW.

332.3How about redirection?LEDDEV::WALLACEThu Dec 08 1988 14:1810
    I wonder if it's possible to redirect the command input/output of
    one of the Command Line Interpreters (CLI's) to the serial port?
    One limitation of course would be you couldn't run any GEM
    programs. But basic things like editing, copying, directory listing,
    etc. have a good chance of working. If nothing else you could MWC's
    debugger which has serial line support built in.
    
    Has anyone tried this?

332.4How about this...DISCVR::FISTERThu Dec 08 1988 14:4513
    
    	   I'm not sure about other comm. software, but Interlink by
    	Intersect has a function which allows remote access. You set
    	up a password (three levels of entry...low, medium or high level
    	of access), and it allows sending, receiving (with various types
    	Xmodem, Ymodem, etc.),directory listing, deleting files, etc.
    	It also has a mail function...when you log in, it asks your
        name, and lets you know if you have any messages. I use it as
    	a low-feature 'bulletin board', so friends can call in. You
    	don't get ANYWHERE without a password, so it's pretty safe.
