the telnet and binkp protocols built into PX/Wins. But, the way Hector ->-> is, I doubt we will see that happening anytime in the near or distant
future.

Have you noticed that the PXW conferences have recently disapeared at Santronics?
When I asked Andrea about it she said she would have to ask tech support (Hector?) what happened, I have yet to hear back an answer, I was actively helping someone in the conference get it setup when this happened so there is activity for new users of PXW.

Both Andrea and Hector have said to me, right over the phone, that PXW
is done. It will never be upgraded and never again supported by them.
This does not sound good to me, but again, it is more along the way ->Winserver is going, Not too much in the Fidonet or msg network way.
Mostly focusing on email stuff only. Including mailing lists etc. So one ->never knows, but I don't think there is any plans beyond the PXW package ->unless someone else writes it for network type messaging.

If you guys need help setting up PXW let me know. I will be more than willing to support it. you can also join Wildcat Support Network as well if you
wanted to. but as for PXW .. I know it pretty well .. and can help anywhere
ya need it.

I am sure they removed PXW from the message areas because they no longer support that product. it sucks cause they will be more than happy and willing to take your money for it ... but god for bid they help in any way with the issues it has ...

Hector ->-> is, I doubt we will see that happening anytime in the near

or

distant ->-> future.

Have you noticed that the PXW conferences have recently disapeared

at

Santronics?

When I asked Andrea about it she said she would have to ask tech

support

(Hector?) what happened, I have yet to hear back an answer, I was

actively

helping someone in the conference get it setup when this happened so

there

is activity for new users of PXW.

Hi Lee... I honestly don't know the answer to that. I only know that she

came

right out when I asked her for help in setting it up, that she said they do

not

support it anymore, She actually sent me to poor Janis who wondered why

I was

bothering her when I first set it up. And if I am not mistaken it almost

sounded as if it was a 3rd party problem, like it wasn't their baby and

whoever

was working on PXW is now not there or something like that. She just said

it

was done and would not be supported by them on the bbs or over the

phone.

Although it was a rough ride trying to get the version 2 and do all that

needed

to be done to bring it up to speed and to version 3. It was a nightmare. I

found out later that was mainly because the key she gave me was a bad

key.

Changed it and it all worked fine. I know IREX does not seem to be

supported,

but knock on wood ( my head just got wrapped ) I haven't had much of a

problem

with that since the day I set it up. Not with it working or registering it.

PXW

is nice, but if it is not going to be supported, my question is, who or what

is

going to take the place of it? I never got a clear answer on that, just a

quick

snap of a reply. I still think they are getting away from networking type

stuff

in winserver. Just my hunch. I have always wondered why there has not

been any

real support in like Fidonet. It is hurting the product, but is also the

fact

that hobbyist sysops on fidonet is not their target market. I dunno..

Have a good One!

Mike

They probably think that BBSing is dead and that there is no more of a ->hobbyist need for their product anymore so they effectively dropped the ->product line. Which is really sad, IMO, since I think PXWins could
end up being as good a product as WINS is. Again, just my opinion.

Heck, money is money what do they care where its generated from as long as it keeps coming in even if its not as expensive as Winserver is and doesn't bring in the money like Wins does.

"Whoever was working on PXW?" I thought Hector wrote that as well? It ->would be totally awesome if the person who WAS working on it would leak
out the source code or something for it ;)

Before he aquired Winserver wasn't PX/PXW and iFTP his flagship products at Santronics?

I would have to agree with you on this point.
