   Another quick followup to this...  Again there is no prefix for the file   
   library, and I did use an exact filename, with no change.   
      
   I also tried using the OS-level directory path instead of the Internal Code,   
   and that didn't work.   
      
   Below is a log snip of what I see in sbbs.log when the FREQ comes in.  The   
   entries before and after this snip are just the session start/stop messages,   
   no other useful information is seen.  I also snipped the timestamp at the   
   beginning of each line for readability:

   It is interesting that there are *TWO* .req messages sent with each try, not   
   sure why that is.  I did try another experiment though - I FREQ'd a file from   
   a non-SBBS system, and it also sent two .req's to that system, but I got back   
   the file I requested, and two netmail replies with the file information.   
      
   What I notice about the log info above is that there is no "recognition" by   
   BinkIT that there is a request being made.  No error message like "file not   
   found" or anything else.  Just what you see above.  It's like the FREQ   
   function is not enabled in BinkIT or something.   
      
   Hopefully this gives some clues about what might be happening.  Also, just for   
   completeness, on the requesting system I have tried sending to "   
   req@
" and to "sysop@
" with no difference (probably doesn't   
   matter who it's addressed to).  Also have used "FR: ALLFILES" and   
   "FR:ALLFILES" on the subject line, with no difference.   
      
   Thanks for any help you can provide.
