Yeah, there's at least 2 point systems for Android.  HotDogEd is one of them,
and there's another the name of which I can't recall.  They are limited though,
the biggest one being only one address (noAKAs) per configuration is supported
(How many BBSs have only one address? - I have close to 10).  And of course,
that doesn't support QWK only areas, unless you setup a dummy zone for gating
those to your point.

Ahh OK,yeah now I understand.  Might be useful for hearing impaired though -
bring the "dialup" back to the dialup BBS, without the modem! :)
