   Hello Paul,   
      
    PQ> There is is a FREQ server package for Linux called 'Mfreq', by Markus   
    PQ> Reschke. In it are a couple of bonus BASH scripts that he threw in   
    PQ> just for the hell of it, called: sendfile.sh & frequest.sh to send   
    PQ> files or make FREQ requests to send via your binkD job.  In any case   
    PQ> either script might be used to start-off a binkD session. They need   
    PQ> fine-tuning to your local Binkley directory structure.  Not hard; I   
    PQ> did it!   
      
   Those scripts sound good. Whenever I want to send a file or reuest one, I have   
   to figure out the hexadecimal of it all.. Oops, I didn't mean to send that   
   there.. ;)   
      
    PQ> The guy was just shy of genius level (he also wrote an IP address   
    PQ> extraction tool from a FTN nodelist, in BASH!).  If you want Mfreq   
    PQ> just FREQ 'mfreq' from here, for the last version.  Zone 2 let him go   
    PQ> without a fight, when he got slightly pissed-off at something minor.   
      
   I remember when he left although I don't know what was troubling him. I do have   
    a version of mfreq here, been meaning to set that up. I'll freq yours to make   
   sure I am up to date.   
      
    AI>> Yes.. :) We are testing the ability to use the binkp protocol in   
    AI>> a secure way. Any help, feedback or direction you can provide is   
    AI>> welcome.   
      
    PQ> My Idea of a secure doover is covering the keyboard with my off-hand   
    PQ> while I peek & poke at the ivories with t'other.  :)   
      
   At least your keyboard is secure.. ;)   
      
    AI>> Do you think that would be a good thing?   
      
    PQ> The all-time best would be simply a 'crash' filebox.   
      
   Everything is on crash here except my point and one other node that has become   
   unresponsive. I'm hoping that node will come back to life but time will tell.   
      
    Ttyl :-),
