   That is an interesting POV on a standard that was in widespread use for over a   
   decade, and which was rescinded/modified to fix a clerical fault in FTSC   
   administrative requirements.  Fortunately it is not binding on individual   
   system override settings.

   Dude, we're talking binkD only.  Pavel Gulchouck (2:463/68) wrote in the binkD   
   echo back on Mon, 25 Jan 16...   
      
   "*.csy are used a similar way to *.bsy but they set on start calling node,   
   before handshake. It prevents simultaneous calls to the remote node by several   
   binkd processes."   
      
   That is _the_ solution in binkD usage canon.  I just don't know of anyone who   
   uses it (.csy)... yet.  Nudge, nudge.  ;-)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
