So you need a TCP/IP able fido mailer. ifcico does well. It handles
TCP mode (ifcico, and an OS/2 compatible one exist), and, applying little
patches, Telnet-Vmodem too.

No. ifmail (iftoss in fact here) translates to email/news format, then it
is the mail (sendmail) or news (INN) server which does the appropriate
routing, and eventually sends some email articles to ifmail/ifnews so they
translate back to FTN format.
The ifmail side is simple, the complexity is moved to sendmail/INN, which
have been created for that task.

Do you have a real internet domain ? In that case is very easy, you can
have a sub-domain for euronet addresses. For exemple if you have
domain.es, you can define f12.n34.euro.domain.es, p78.f45.n35.euro.domaine.es
etc.
If you are 24h/24 on the internet you should ask for an entry in the z2
fidonet DNS to receive fidonet mail for your local net.
PS: by "internet domain" I doesn't mean a set of IP adresses, evne a single
one is enough, but if you can add as many entries as you want in the DNS.
If you only can use a single internet address then it is harder, you have
to create a table of local usernames to euronet addresses for sendmail to
use.
>I don't know if i can do all this with ifmail or i need more programs. If
You need also INN and sendmail. (or Smail, or Cnews, but most of the people
seems to use INNand sendmail)
