Is it true that it only generates BITNET-style instructions (i.e.:
"TELL ... CONFIRM ..." rather than "CONFIRM ...") for people to
follow for renewing?  I haven't been able to find out an answer to
this for sure, and since most of my users are *not* on BITNET, I for
one am loathe to find out the hard way...  Also, how does it handle
subscribers whose paths when sending the CONFIRM command don't match
the paths their SUB command took?
