Before BinkD and FTS-5005 there was the original BinkleyTerm mailer that 
defined BSO in 1990. The FTSC documented the original BSO de facto standard. I 
wonder why the Binkd developers decided that they don't have to follow that 
standard in the sample binkd.cfg that is distributed with binkd.

 Subj : found something else...

some replies later I found this info:

 SD> binkd checks outbound/quartz.7B and outbound/quartz if both are exists.

So even if binkd creates a "othernet" directory it also checks "othernet.xxx" 
(if I understand it correctly).
