Hi Howard,
About "I wish to introduce myself..." of January 25:

This suggestion seems to be promising enough to be investigated. I
notice you mentioned importing from the "Unix MailBox" format and that's
what i get when i capture my ~E-Mails~ using `NetMail', and perhaps just
`<Commo>', is it not?... I now hope exporting will be possible as well.
:^)
HE> When I was using DOS on a daily basis, I didn't find that there was

That sounds familiar, but the last part. You know me, i discovered
`Basic Linux' while i was after an alternate `ZMoDem' solution, in order
to get something to compare with the DOS terminal emulators, euh... and
then i came across `IVT'... Focus moves from one item to the next, it's
just unfortunate that there are so few `DOS-InterNet' people on FidoNet;
i guess one doesn't feel alone anymore when he's switching to `Linux'...
;-)
HE> ...it seems like ancient history.
Yes and that sounds pretty close to the definition of "LEGACY". :)
HE> ...in Linux, I use... ...ztelnet...
I can't tell if there's a `SlackWare'-compatible `ZTelNet' version.
Would you think it's capable of "sharing" a ~TelNet~ session with my old
friend `Kermit' (or `C-Kermit' in that case, might i say)?... `MiniCOM'
requires an external Vitual ~TelNet MoDem "shim", as i recall. I wonder
if `ZTelNet' supports `Kermit' file transfers over ~TelNet~, internally.
