That's quite possibly the case, but personally I haven't found the need to
Freq, so am not qualified to comment. Although I would have thought it
possible, provided you know the telephone number of the BBS being sent the
request.

Surely when the remote system IDs itself to your mailer it is enough for it
to know it has a file request message waiting? As I say, I could be very
wrong as I've yet to find need to test the system. My mailer will call any
number you pass to it on the command line, or will reference the nodelist
if a node address is passed. Either way, it can handle it. Must try it
sometime...
