  Hi, My name is John Johnson I run Tribbs V11.0 Reg #2839 and by request
of a Tribbs sysop < Hi Ed > I am making this help file. I am not good at
this and I still am Working on the Program myself so some things I am not
sure of.  

 You will also need a program to get the mail Igate only Translates
 to you can import/export. You can get a copy of KA9Q or FXUUCICO
 or something that will connect to your provider and fetch your mail.
    you will also need a UUCP or FTP account with a local internet 
    Provider.

Spool directory: the location of files you get after making an Internet 
mail run you should use "Spool" for this

Work Directory: I think we all can figure this one out as well :)
Netmail Directory: the place that your in comming & out going netmail is
stored.

Arcmail inbound: this is the location that all your Echo mail after
a mail run and before it get's tossed..

Arcmail outbound: this is the place your Echo mail is stored waiting
to be sent out just after it was tossed out....

Mailer type: you have to set this to what you use as a frontend..

Semaphore Path: this is the location that your mailler puts certan
files that Triger events.

Attach Directory: this is the place you store your attaches..

Sent attaches: This is your choice I think you can figure this out :)

Save attaches: that is up to you an how much hard drive space you have.

    This is all I can help with. I am sorry but with not being able to get
 A UUCP acount yet I have not been able to test this yet. as far as the
 News groups go you would need to Configure Tritoss to take mail from
 your Fake address you have setup in Igate and add the News groups
 like Echos just make sure you enter the Fake address as one node and
 as your Hub for the news groups.

  I need to give special Thanks to a few people that have helped me over
  the last few years.
