Thank you for this information, as I am thinking about adding FREQ 
capability to my system (running Synchronet).

Can you tell me how you know that IBN-only can only use the WaZOO 
protocol?  I'm unable to find any info on that.  Also how can we tell 
that BinkIT/FreqIT cannot do update requests (XX)?

General info on Bark/WaZOO would also be nice to read about.

Thanks.
