I have attempted to use the suggestions provided by you but I am failing to understand.
Per your instructions I added the *H to elconfig>messages>external editor. c:\ele\ice.cmd *N *M *H
My iceedit command is ice.cmd which reads:
@echo off
/WAIT C:\ELE\ICEEDIT.EXE

When a message is attempted, the local screen shows the Iceedit screen for about 3 seconds but returns to the message menu of the bbs. The remote side just shows "message aborted"
I have tried several combinations of ice.cmd command line but must be missing something somewhere. According to the docs all you really need is C:\ELE\ICEEDIT.EXE but you can use C:\ELE\ICEEDIT /D: C:\ELE to point to the drop file location when using RA.
Not sure what I am missing here.

If you're running multi-node, your drop file should be in c:\ele\node%1 .

I am running multinode. According to my interpretation of the docs IceEdit
will automatically detect the drop file location or you can point to the location. I may be mistaken in my understanding. (Wouldn't be the first
time) I have tried many variations of the .cmd and end elconfig without success. My ele log shows "OS SHELL: c:\ele\ice.cmd *H 2 57600 9983 400
I will keep at it and may luck into the correct combination.

Question for you guys:
Anyone running a bbs with older versions of OS/2 ?(Warp4, Warp4, 4,52)
If so what fossil are you using? I am using SIO2K with EleBBS for OS/2 and
not having much luck with this version. Thanks for any input.

I've used 1.60d since 1996 without issue.

Do you use Vmodem with that version? If so are you using a non standard port?
I never could get Vmodem to work with it.
Thanks!

Yes and yes, non-standard port. It explains how to set a non-standard
telnet port in the VMODEM docs. You have to modify your "services" file (usually in C:\MPTN\ETC and the filename has no extension; just called "services") by commenting out the "telnet" ports and adding "vmotelnet" instead.

My services file reads (deleted both "telnet" lines):

vmotelnet 10323/tcp
vmotelnet 10323/udp

You must reboot the computer after making these changes.
