Why not create a inbound        Ol> filebox for every node/point that calls and rely on the session        Ol> password? Is there any (open source) mailer or tosser that support        Ol> inbound fileboxes?              I use binkd and it does support in and out fileboxes. I have only ever used an       outbound filebox for one node and that does what I need it to do. I have never       used an inbound filebox so I'm not sure how that would work in practice or if       it would fill any real need. I'm not sure my tosser knows how to use an       inbound filebox for a link.              What I would like to see is a proper binkps protocol. We could drop the CRYPT       option (when using binkps) and have a fully secure session, regardless of       inbound or outbound directories.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 18/0 200 90/1 103/705 116/116 120/340 601 123/0       SEEN-BY: 123/25 50 150 160 170 755 135/300 138/146 153/250 757 6809       SEEN-BY: 153/7001 7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 221/0 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/400 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 261/38 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 288/100 292/854 8125 300/4 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 3634/0 12 15       SEEN-BY: 3634/24 27 50 119       PATH: 153/757 7715 3634/12 154/10 280/464 229/426           |
