   I don't know if it's a coincidence, but another FidoNet node (Wilfred Van   
   Velzen) reported a weird interaction with a node running BinkIt today   
   (involving bsy/semfile):

   Hi All,   
      
   I have a new node/link in AmigaNet using Synchronet on Freebsd. I'm noticing   
   some strangeness:

   Firstly the .pkt file that isn't a .pkt file?   
      
   Secondly the 'recv' from the remote before the connection is complete, so my   
   binkd flags it as 'failed'...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.

   Looks like the contents of a bsy file were sent as a packet (?).
