Since you're posting from Vertrauen (my BBS), I thought I'd like you know that
you can send file request (FREQ) netmail messages from Vertrauen by creating a
netmail message to the file request process at the hub you choose and placing
"FR:" in the subject of the message. The "FR:" means file request and
the  must be replaced with the filename (or magic name) you are
requesting. After sending a FREQ netmail, you should later get a response from
the file request processor at the node you sent the message too, possibly with
your requested file attached and ready for you to download from the BBS
(Vertrauen), e.g. using ZModem.
