some binkp capable mailers send PHN with their phone/domain/IP...

binkd doesn't appear to have this capability...

it would be nice if a config verb "phone" or similar was introduced so we could 
configure binkd to transmit this information... it would be beneficial for 
those who study the binkd log output to check on operation and to find problems 
that may exist... this would be a freeform field like sysname, location, and 
sysop... granted it won't affect the operation of binkd but then neither does 
sysname, location, or sysop ;)

eg:
  sysname "Ivan's BBS"
  location "Magadan, Russia"
  sysop "Ivan Ivanov"
  phone "binkd.some.domain.invalid"

if the "phone" verb exists and contains data, send it to the remote as

  PHN binkd.some.domain.invalid

otherwise, do not send it at all...

thank you for your attention and consideration :)
