    AI>> It's an external SRIF utility that's needed for binkd that is not

   I'm not sure what that is but I don't think that'll help us in this case. :)   
      
   Binkd and most binkp mailers don't know how to get a requested file but it   
   does support a Standard Request Interface File. When a file is requested we   
   pass that info to an SRIF utility that finds the file and tells binkd where it   
   is to send the file to the node.   
      
    AA> I thought most bbs softwares (especially sychro and mystic, the   
    AA> majority  in fsxnet?) supported freq, built-in.   
      
   I think, but I'm not certain(tm) that Synchronet's binkit mailer supports file   
   requests although the node has to tell it how to do that with an .ini file.   
      
   We just brought up file request support with James, the Mystic author and I   
   think he put it on the todo or maybe todo for future support when he gets some   
   free time to look into it more.   
      
   Dial-up mailers did all this themselves and it was easy to setup. It's not   
   hard with binkd but you need the external utilities setup.   
      
    Ttyl :-),
