Why mention binkp twice? Just for backward compatability's sake?

Why does binkp get a line to itself yet email transfer does not?

If your system is online 24/7 via IP why is your status private?

Excuse the questions, but I am not quite following the advantages/reasons as
yet.

Cheers,
                Rick
