   Hello Oli,   
      
    Ol> I wonder why we still use packet passwords. 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 :-),
