Hello.

I'm very new to Synchronet, Fidonet etc, and I have a question about FSXNET, and BinkD.

I have fidonet working flawlessly, no issues whatsoever but I am trying to get FSXNET installed (I have installed everything properly) but it says I need to be using BinkD.

I began reading about BinkD on the Synchronet's Wiki, and it appears like I have to install BinkD as entirely new animal.

I have been browsing Google along Youtube for some hint on how to install it but there is nothing I can follow.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to install BinkD?

Any help you folks can provide will be appreciated.

No, you just need a BinkD protocol (BinkP) compatible mailer. Synchronet includes one already: BinkIT. You're likely already using it. It works with fsxNet just fine.
