| Let's say we want to send a FREQ to a system in Micronet. Micronet is zone 618. In HEX that is 26a so the outbound would be outbound.26a. | Let's say we want to send a FREQ to a system in Micronet.

| The '^' (caret) tells your BSO mailer to delete the req file after it has been sent. | |

| When your BSO mailer scans its outbound directories and sees the file 0e32000c.flo, it will attempt to connect to 1:3634/12 and deliver the myfreq.req file. If 1:3634/12 has FREQ enabled, it will read the filenames from the .req file, and queue those files to send back to you during the current connection. | When your BSO mailer scans its outbound directories and sees the file 0e32000c.flo, it will attempt to connect to 1:3634/12 and deliver the myfreq.req file.

| NOTE: In the above you will note that we used the ">>" method of redirection to add the echoed data to the files. This is so we do not destroy what may already be in them. | |
