Right.  Well put.

For sure.

I need binkd on the node for the uplink to there but also that same machine
has ftpd since it needs it to distribute to the rest of the nonFido world
and thus the points off that node have a choice.  Given that ftp is far
more important then it makes sense for me as a point, who also requires a
ftp client in order to get what I want, to use the ftp service on the main
worldly connected box and let it worry about Fido hubs which are few and
getting fewer.  Also I've been using ftp for longer then there have been
Fido nodes on the internet so I got used to doing all file transfers that
way as well as ftp being far more reliable then internetted Fido
nodes/hubs/etc.  They (binkd and simular) can't compete, or at least not by
using apps meant for single line local dialup.  Far too unreliable on the
internet for many, many good reasons.

Life is good,
Maurice
