Hello Joe.

A different method of outbound.  Much more reliable, and simplier, in my 
opinion than BSO or Arcmail attach.

The only benefit I see is that the Ftracker is much more powerful.  You can use 
intresting features like the handling of ARQ flag to generate a message from 
the origin node letting them know to which system their message was routed to. 
That only touches the surface really.  Your tosser only performs the basics.
