   Oh... I thought you wanted it for windows not unix.  I am sure there is one for   
   that also if you search.  The scrippt I gave you could probably be transformed   
   into a bash.

    RQ> example:   
      
    RQ> binkd -R 12:345/678 filename /path/to/binkd.conf   
      
   Go to the binkd echo and request it.

    RQ> 1:214/22 translates to 00105Y.00M   
      
   Ahhh... I am not that familiar with Nick's program.
