    From Lesser Keys@DIGDIST/BATTLEST/FREEWAY to All on Sun Mar 29 08:56:00 2015
    I am trying to find some good documentation on Radius. I want to use it for my message network, and bre league. I already have the network setup via qwk format, but some boards can't send files via qwk. Mystic is one, just to name a few. I really need help getting this going. If anyone cares to help me out, or point me in the right direction please contact me back.

    Thanks

    ... I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure.

    Go get binkd and use individual file folders for FTN.

    Can I run radius and binkd at the same time. That way I don't screw up my fidonet?

    They're both mailers so i doubt it very much. I took a peek into the radius package and didn't see a manual so I'm not sure if Radius supports individual file folders. It may, you'll have to take a look. If so, then I'm sure Radius will send them without an attachment which is preferred.

    FYI, binkd is very easy to setup.

    Is binkd free as well?

    Completely. you can get it here: download.binkd.org

    Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Depending on what OS you're using look for any of the files dated 2015-02-03. If you're running win32, then the file you'd need is: binkd11a69-mingw32-ipv6-perldl.zip

    Per the author... here is a breakdown of the files...

    I'm not ready to update FAQ right now (it should be done along with makefile update), but i'll provide a short description.

    "Binkd2" means OS/2 version.
    Binkd2EMX - compiled with old gcc/emx, it would work on ancient systems without modern libraries. Perl featured version available. Binkd2kLIBC - compiled with modern gcc for OS/2, requires libc*.dll. It can't be compiled with perl support right now (binkd 1.1a-69).

    Windows versions:
    "Mingw32" or "MSVC" - just a different compilers for Windows.
    And different bugs ;-)

    "Static" - doesn't require msvc*.dll redistributable package.


    "W9X" - special version for windows 95/98/Me.

    "4GB" - include large file support (4+ gb).

    Mingw32 - compiled with mingw from cygwin package. The only working version for PERLDL=1 compile option (allows user to define actual perl.dll in binkd.cfg). Full IPV6 support, but WITHOUT large file support (it will crash on such files).

    MSVC - Win32 version for ancient systems (NT/2000). Compiled with MSVC6. Works with large files, but only partial IPV6 support.

    MSVC10 - Win32 version for Windows XP and never. Have all modern features (large files, IPV6), but perl.dll should be along with binkd.exe or in the %PATH%.

    All Win32 can work in the Win64 environment, at least in pointpackage.

    MSVC10X64 - Win64 version.


    There is a linux version as well...

    Hope this helps.

    I didn't quote, sorry.

    Radius is being a pain, I am finally going to binkd. I can't find any documentation on Radius. Very sad day indeed. However, I am excited to try out binkd
