  • to handle or not to handle

    From Matthew Munson@1:218/109 to All on Fri Feb 27 10:10:18 2026
    How do I do handles on the system, do I need to use a secondary account?

    Thank You!

    yes unless you specifically tell users they can use handles.

    Maybe a future update to PXW could give the option to us handles for an echo
    if that echo supports handles.

    I wish we could have it where you can set a user note stating their primary or handle account so they can be easily cross referenced.

    There we go. Now I'm seeing my echomail.
    pxonline was putting inbound packets into C:
    \PXW\INOUND and not C:\PXW\INBOUND\ECHO where
    I had them set to go to by default.
