yes, fileboxes are the same as spool directories... anything you drop in them 
is automajikally flicked over the wall and appears in the destination system's 
inbound...

now the question is if i can have FD and binkd both working with the same 
filebox/spool directories so that mail can be picked up by either method... 
i've been keeping them split and only doing part of my config steps when i add 
a new telnet connected node... when i add a binkp connected node, i have 
several more steps to do...
