Hello Oli,

 Ol> I wonder why we still use packet passwords. Why not create a inbound
 Ol> filebox for every node/point that calls and rely on the session

 Ol> inbound fileboxes?

I use binkd and it does support in and out fileboxes. I have only ever used an
outbound filebox for one node and that does what I need it to do. I have never
used an inbound filebox so I'm not sure how that would work in practice or if
it would fill any real need. I'm not sure my tosser knows how to use an
inbound filebox for a link.

What I would like to see is a proper binkps protocol. We could drop the CRYPT
option (when using binkps) and have a fully secure session, regardless of
inbound or outbound directories.

 Ttyl :-),
