    Thanks for the reply Wilbert.

    I think I have configured the various ulist files under /etc/ax25/ correctly.
    However, I'm still uncertain about the meaning of a free channel. If this
    refers the the radio channel to the BBS then I'm in trouble because it is
    almost never free. I have to connect via 2 digipeaters before I can connect
    to the BBS.

    My version of "The Manual" has devoted four lines to the mail function and
    makes no mention of a free channel.
