   Hey All!   
      
   Looking good so I'll take the liberty of starting a howto of sorts.   
      
   In this case the control file on this point is called 00991b59.hlo, the first   
   four characters being the bossnode's net address (hex), the last four the node   
   address.  I put it as hold since it is a single user system and is never   
   accessed by anything or anyone else.  The bsy extention is normally used to   
   avoid clashes.   
      
   Next this message will be referred to in 00991b59.hlo with a '^' tacked in   
   front to indicate it will be deleted once successfully transferred.  It should   
   look something like; ^/out_dir/12345678.msg but I am not entirely sure exactly   
   what it will be called since I haven't saved it yet.   
      
   Once all messages have been entered and saved, the next step will to be to   
   poll the mothership something like this;   
      
     netcat -w 10 -z  24554   
     if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]   
     then   
       binkd -P 1:153/7001.0@fidonet -p ~/WeBeBashing/etc/binkd.cfg   
     else   
       echo "Mothership is not reachable ... aborting."   
       exit 10   
     fi   
      
   I use netcat to scan for the open binkd port.  Your mileage may vary.  If the   
   poll is successful the message(s) referred to in 00991b59.hlo will be uploaded   
   for further processing on the mothership and my work is done (as the point man   
   that is).   
      
   It should be mentioned that ssh can be used for this instead of binkd but   
   where is the fun in that?   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
