I waiting for my "papers" to be official and get my node number

I agree... but I think that would mean that CM would need to read binkd.cfg??
Which at this point that seems unlikely since it appears to be abandoned...

Only thing I can figure is that between FD and FMail and the way I had things
setup then... and possibly the fog of several decades...

Well for Fido On the 'Net that really seems to be the only route... maybe those
who actually still have actual modem setups might be using EMSI via FD etc..
