   I missed the "session" before the "password" and thought you were still   
   talking about packet passwords. Now I get it.   
      
   I wonder why we still use packet passwords. Why not create a inbound filebox   
   for every node/point that calls and rely on the session password? Is there any   
   (open source) mailer or tosser that support inbound fileboxes?
