   Yeah... I stopped... as I was looking for some feedback...   
      
   and   
      
   I waiting for my "papers" to be official and get my node number   
      
   as well as not wanting to upset any one with a bunch of stuff going out or   
   coming in etc...

   I agree... but I think that would mean that CM would need to read binkd.cfg??   
   Which at this point that seems unlikely since it appears to be abandoned...   
      
   Only thing I can figure is that between FD and FMail and the way I had things   
   setup then... and possibly the fog of several decades...

   Well for Fido On the 'Net that really seems to be the only route... maybe   
   those who actually still have actual modem setups might be using EMSI via FD   
   etc..
