   Since you're posting from Vertrauen (my BBS), I thought I'd like you know that   
   you can send file request (FREQ) netmail messages from Vertrauen by creating a   
   netmail message to the file request process at the hub you choose and placing   
   "FR:" in the subject of the message. The "FR:" means file request   
   and the  must be replaced with the filename (or magic name) you are   
   requesting. After sending a FREQ netmail, you should later get a response from   
   the file request processor at the node you sent the message too, possibly with   
   your requested file attached and ready for you to download from the BBS   
   (Vertrauen), e.g. using ZModem.
