E-mail updumps are no longer facilitated by the COM server since a few

weeks, so it will fail persistently. This updump processing program was a

DOS program which I wrote a few years ago when the COM server was still

running on DOS, and since I lost the source code I could not maintain it

properly.

Not at present. One day I was thinking to make web access but it doesn't

look like I will ever get time for that, and neither would it seem to help

you.

Yes, by using MacCOM, or any telnet program that supports Zmodem...
