-
- There are features that will allow this in two popular front-end mailer
- packages, FrontDoor (FD202.*) and BinkleyTerm (various archives
- available). Frontdoor calls it external mail (I think), and allows a
- character input to select batch files. I don't know about BinkleyTerm, but
- it might also have similar functions with similar ease.
-
- It would be selected from the ever-popular Press Escape Or Wait screen, so
- you would list your BBSes in your banner file.
-
- You might take a look at those two packages (FD only requires one big
- archive, FD202.ARJ or FD202.LZH or FD202.ZIP, about 600K; BT comes in
- separate executable and documentation archives)
-
- Let me know what you find out, please... I might be amused by trying this
- kind of setup.
