binkd can create a semaphore file when certain files are received, which you
can then use to start whatever task needs to happen.

It certainly will work fine with a Binkley Style Outbound.

 ML> operation?

If you'd like I can netmail you a copy of my binkd.cfg from my OS/2 system; it
shows how to setup most of what you're asking about.

Regards,

Andrew
