   So what is Internet Rex, you're asking?

   Internet Rex is a close friend of Fido's.  Fido was designed to send
 mail over phone lines using a modem - Rex is designed to send mail over the
 Internet, using whatever methods are available to it.  It's meant to be an
 easy to use, consolidated method to transport mail via email or FTP.  Rex
 supports the following useful features:

 

• integrated mail, FTP, BinkP and ident servers
• includes a full featured internet/fido gate so you can gate
  mailing lists to your BBS or give your BBS users internet email
• the ability to toss mail to a directory, for use on FTP servers
• transport methods can be transparently combined: you can send
  files to a remote site using email, but receive mail via FTP
• uses Internet standard encoding methods (MIME, UUencoding,
  XXencoding) for mail: ensures compatibility with other programs
• fully MIME compliant: supports multi-part messages, and multiple
  attached files
• fault tolerant file transmission: a system of manifests and
  receipts ensures files are sent and received once and only once
