sounds like you have an old FAQ... i had asked for and someone finally did
split 16 into two parts, 16 and 17... this because 16 is for /how/ to make a
request and 17 is for how to /service/ a request... the FAQ is posted at least
once a month in the BINKD support echo ;)

if you would like a copy of the srifreq file, let me know and i'll send it
over...

as for the versions of binkd, i have a couple of *nix boxen here... one is
running the packaged binkd for it, another is running a slightly newer version
from a repo snapshot and a 3rd one actually has a clone/fork of the repo and
gets a new version when i decide to pull the latest updates and compile them...
