PPoint LAN Processing System
Copyright (c) 1993 Harvey Parisien, Kingston, Canada

PPoint now let's you connect to a network host using PP-LAN. Your
network host can be connected to the outside world, and you connected
to it using PP-LAN.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup:
Edit pp-lan.cfg. It's a documented configuration file.
Edit your mailer.bat file to just have this one line in it...
@pp-lan
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What, exactly, does PP-LAN do?
It's a replacement for bnu and binkley for Ppoint where the mail comes
from a network server. It can also be used to fetch packets on a
non-network system that has a full node setup on it, and has packets
waiting for it's points. Some sysops setup PPoint in a separate
directory and use pp-lan to move the packets to/from Ppoint.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Misc option...
PP-LAN has one command line switch /C. If you run pp-lan /c it will
check the host server to see if mail is waiting. If mail is there,
it will exit with an errorlevel of 0, if there is no mail, it will exit
with an errorlevel of 1. This was designed so that network nodes can
check for mail in a routine batch process.
ie: @echo off
pp-lan /c
if errorlevel 1 goto exit
beep or msgbox "You have mail"... etc.
:exit
