These are switches you can use on the command line.  I suppose the node you are
calling is running his or her server with them at startup:

-nd
         stands for No Dupes link mode. This mode is a further extension of
the NR mode, so -nd option supercedes -nr option. In NR mode binkd will rename
an inbound file1 to it's realname only after receiving an offset request for
the next file, thus effectively making shure that the remote have deemed file1
to be successfully transmitted and will not attempt to do so again. Links
status is stored in a outbound/*.stc file, so the session can be resumed even
after reboot. This option will work only for outbound connections and only if
the remote supports it (0.9.3).

-md
         this option forces binkd to use CRAM-MD5 authentication on outbound
session. If the remote doesn't support CRAM-MD5, session will be aborted
without falling back to plain text authentication. (0.9.4) [Warning!] Enable
this option only if you are absolutely sure that your link supports CRAM-MD5 at
all times.

There is documentation for Binkd available at
http://www.doe.carleton.ca/~nsoveiko/fido/binkd/man/

You can probably get more help in the Binkd echo.

Take care,
janis
