X-BBS-Msg-Type: B
"import/export" format to other BBSes, or it can fire up a TELNET session
to a remote BBS and forward that way.
The whole thing has been growing over the last 7 years. It
has a lot of crummy code and just generally needs some "elegantizing",
but it works. I wish I had the time to clean it up.
I've never gone to a newer version , one of the NOSes, because it worked
pretty well, but it's getting hopelessly outdated. That's why I was
working on the wampes code. I actually got a version to compile
that had most of the duplicate funtionality stripped out, but
I never got around to adding the BBS interface for my stuff.

I was under the impression that they didn't support connected-mode
AX.25 at all?

I'd like to.

Yep, Brian's certainly said that. Next thing he did was build an HTTP
server
into TNOS.
That is the primary reason I went straight Linux AX25 and dropped TNOS.

I'm quite interested in seeing what you have. I co-sysop a gateway and
we've been struggling with how to interface Internet mail with packet
mail. It sounds like what you have is almost exactly what we are looking
for.
