I haven't tried QWKnEasy, but I got a lot of information from my
UNIX server by typing:
  man qwk
That will get you manual pages about the QWK program on your
server. I know others have had wonderful success with !2qwk. I
couldn't get my server's QWK to decode and send the messages I
created off line. Keep us informed.
