Hi! Alan,

There is is a FREQ server package for Linux called 'Mfreq', by Markus Reschke.
In it are a couple of bonus BASH scripts that he threw in just for the hell of
it, called: sendfile.sh & frequest.sh to send files or make FREQ requests to
send via your binkD job. In any case either script might be used to start-off
a binkD session. They need fine-tuning to your local Binkley directory
structure. Not hard; I did it!
The guy was just shy of genius level (he also wrote an IP address extraction
tool from a FTN nodelist, in BASH!). If you want Mfreq just FREQ 'mfreq' from
here, for the last version. Zone 2 let him go without a fight, when he got
slightly pissed-off at something minor.

My Idea of a secure doover is covering the keyboard with my off-hand while I
peek & poke at the ivories with t'other. :)

The all-time best would be simply a 'crash' filebox.
Cheers,
Paul.
