Hello Wilfred!

 Ol>> Why not create a separate directory for every node's (pkt) files?

 WV> Fileboxes are not BSO compatible. So the behaviour regarding flow
 WV> files in fileboxes is undefined. So that can cause problems if a
 WV> tosser and mailer try to access the same files at the same time...

I think what Oli meant to say was: Put the PKTs in some per-node folder
and leave the LOs in the normal outbound. That way the outbound is
clean, you see what's waiting without having the fuzz of all the PKTs
laying around.

 WV> And you would still have hundreds (or even more, if the link remains
 WV> offline) of .pkt files in that directory. So it doesn't solve
 WV> anything...

You'll have 1 ?LO (and probably one ?UT) per node in the outbound and a
lot of PKTs in the "per node"-folder. Quite easy to delete, if needed (-:

cu, Matthias
