Heh, heh.  Good one.  Yeah that looks like a potential bug.  It has yet to 
happen here but I imagine the frontend, binkd for instance, ought to be keeping 
an eye on that possibility and just renaming the inbound to avoid conflict.  
Besides that, it probably wouldn't come to that simply because all incoming 
pkts are dealt with dynamically here, but I suppose it could happen given that 
the machine doesn't do DOS-think and thus isn't limited by the "there can be 
only one" ideology.  I'll see if I can figure out a way to test that and see 
what happens.

An extremely good idea.

Life is good,
