subject: a couple bink-xe suggestions

I keep forgetting about this.. Just a couple little suggestions for bink-XE:

1. Being able to use Hydra Chat is great, although it doesn't give much
time for the remote sysop to answer if there's no mail. So why not have it
so that if you bring it into chat, it will beep for x seconds on the
reciving end (definable by the reciving end) before hanging up? Makes it a
bit easier to get ahold of people easily :)

2. Include the ability to put modem commands in any strings. Ie..

BBSNote  Sorry, the bbs is down at the moment. call back tommorow. "v~^"

so it will write "Sorry, the....tommorow." and then hang up. Or perhaps

BBSNote  FILE:C:\binkley\bbsnote.ban

or something; the ability to display files instead of a line of text (this
won't work for ALL of the strings, but it will work for some)

BinkXE is great, only other problem i'm having is the nodelist-lookup. If i
type in anything other than a node number, it always comes up with the same
name. I have a v7 nodelist, compiled with FastLst/2.

ttyl, greg
