Some good ideas there. :)

 JM> - Offline QWK reader/editor for iPhone/iPad.

Yes please!!!.  Let me know when you're looking for testers.  Also, Android
would be nice too, I have both iOS and Android devices here.  Offline mail is a
perfect match for mobile devices, especially here, where it's not too hard to
wander out of coverage. :)  I actually don't understand why (limited
functionality) point systems (there's at least 2) came before offline mail
(which doesn't yet exist) for Android.

 JM> - Asterisk or FreeSwitch BBS gateway (possibly just offline QWK reader)

I don't quite understand what you're proposing here. :)
