Hi Conny,

The Binkley Style Outbound (BSO) is described here:

http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5005.003

As far as I remember in ASO, just the filenames are different from BSO, so the filename extensions and their function are the same.

 CE> 2.203.0.0.WE0 ( a compressed file called 61f9cd2c.PKT when I uncompress it)

You seem to be missing a .flo file, that tells binkd what files to send.

Receiving should be automatic, as long as your binkd identifies itself correctly to the other system (AKA and password).

Bye, Wilfred.
