   Ah..  just a binkd thing.  OK.

   Yeah..  you love those nano seconds.   
      
   But wrt binkd does it matter? I mean.. isn't binkd the     
   connection component over the internet, and not for the FTN     
   messages?  Why would connection time need such granularity at     
   the time of the "call"?
