Happy New Year,
Holger
I restored MultiLine Sio2K/2 and FrontDoor/2 and GEcho/2 and
PCBoard/2 and GoldED/2 after ten years and I had a lot of work with
the IP connection.
If I remember it correctly there is software in the SIO package that
I used to connect to internet but I don't remember if I used the
connection for anything else than just mail.

I don't understand why you are using all those external programs when almost everything is built-in into PCBoard.
If I remember it correctly there is software in the SIO package
that I used to connect to internet but I don't remember if I used
the connection for anything else than just mail.
In addition to the above I have checked my registered SIO v1.35
program and it contains the VMODEM program that I use with PCBoard to connect to the Internet.
Nothing else was required for that.
Then again, I do use some PPE utilities that make it easier to use
PCBoard itself and for reading/replying to QWK messages the MR/2
program for OS/2 but you can use MultiMail instead which is free and available for many operating systems.
At the moment I'm investigating BinkP to connect to the Internet but I have other things to do that are more important at the moment.
Yes, BinkD is the only option today because Telnet and port 23 are
useless today :-(
I have time, but again I do not have programming skills and I cannot
set many things myself. Previously, my colleague helped me with
everything he could, but he doesn't deal with it anymore and I don't
know English and I can't do anything without Google :-(
(I don't always read messages here, Robin.) I have to say that your written English is a lot better than some so-called 'native' English-speaking folks' efforts. Don't hold back.
I don't understand why you are using all those external programs when almost everything is built-in into PCBoard.
The reason is simple. I only started with FidoNet and FrontDor and
the necessary external programs. Only a year or two later I bought a PCBoard and used FrontDoor as a boot for PCBoard.
If I remember it correctly there is software in the SIO package
Yes, I also have a registered SIO program but I use v.1.6D and
VMODEM to connect FrontDoor to the Internet.
More specifically, I should have. Today I use SIO2K v2.02 and eCS
2.2, not OS/2 Warp.
Nothing else was required for that.
I understand, but I've never used PCBard alone and for FidoNet.
It has always been just a bulletin board, so I have no experience connecting PCBoard to the Internet independently without FrontDoor

OK, I have only used FrontDoor APX (FDAPX) on my office and laptop machines and that one doesn't require any external programs.

it must be noted that there is a huge difference between Frontdoor and Frontdoor APX... the former is a general purpose FTN mailer whereas
the latter is an all-in-one point user app... the former can be run stand-alone or in front of a BBS whereas the latter cannot be used to handle mail calls for a BBS at all...

Interesting. I have also considered either eCS or the one called
BlueLion

You don't have to use port 23. You can use port 2023 instead.
FDAPX is a breeze, it can't run PCBoard, and if there's a
coordinator in Fidonet, it can't use it and doesn't work in 64 bit.
eCS and BlueLion are only slightly upgraded Warp. Kernel is
still the same :-( But I love OS / 2 and so mmsm eCS even though it
is not cheap :-(

I worked for a long time and I couldn't persuade SIO and VM.
Finally, Tomi from Belgium advised me, and FrontDoor dials through
port 2030, but we didn't solve it to accept calls as well.
