Oh... I thought you wanted it for windows not unix.  I am sure there is one for
that also if you search.  The scrippt I gave you could probably be transformed
into a bash.

 RQ> binkd -R 12:345/678 filename /path/to/binkd.conf

Go to the binkd echo and request it.

 RQ> 1:214/22 translates to 00105Y.00M

Ahhh... I am not that familiar with Nick's program.


 RQ> Thanks for the suggestion. It got me thinking about other programs I

Welcome...
