   Thank you also for the new writeup posted on the Wiki for this.  I    
   tested that this morning, to my system from a "test point" that I have.     
   It worked properly, but it did result in the file being sent twice,    
   because there ended up being (2) File Requests (.req) sent, for reasons    
   unknown.  The requesting system is also running SBBS, if that matters.     
   The second file received just over-wrote the first one, in the    
   "inbound" directory, so no real harm done, but seems off a little.     
   Here's a log snippet of the transaction, from the system that received    
   the two requests:

   Maybe there's something there that would indicate what caused the    
   duplicate request messages, but not likely to my eye.  The first .req is    
   the hex conversion of the receiving systems FTN address (1:135/115), and    
   the second .req appears to be a random-generated name from the    
   requesting system.     
      
   Thanks for any info you may be able to provide on this!
