Yes, I have installed but not used the WyndMail software in its official
capacity. However, itdoes come with a dialer as you mentioned.
The dialer works with my external Identity pocket modem but the problem
is that the program does not give terminal or scripting access.
I expected this as it is expecting to see the login from the WyndMail
server so the dialer is really useless for general use.
Sorry...
Even though it's great to have Omniswp 1.0, I'd still love to see a
converter for Wyndmail and even a vt100 emulator which runs in Geos.
