its actually easier than many make it...

1. each has their own config files.
2. those configs share the same directories.
3. set the POTS node to HOLD * except those you POTS deliver
4. set the IP node to HOLD those you IP deliver to

having run binkleyterm briefly (about 2 months) years back, i can see that there 
may be some problems due to the use of the file extensions to determine what to 
do with the bundle... that's one of the main things i like about FrontDoor... it 
doesn't care about the extensions 'cause everything is set in the configs and it 
only looks at the destination address in the netmail message containing the 
attach of the bundle...

this is also why using fileboxes for binkd works out better... i don't know if 
binkleyterm does fileboxes or not but it doesn't really matter cause you can set 
binkd to use one set of default outbound and binkleyterm to use another... then 
its a simple matter of putting the outbound files in the proper outbound for the 
proper deliver program you desire to use...
