In my case when I'm not atwork, all my computing is done via ssh terminal, not
using a GUI so being able to just login via syncterm, or ssh to the BBS iswhy
I'm hoping to integrate syncdraw into the synchronet bbs (my instance).

If syncdraw was within the BBS terminal then using ftelnet where the wss ports
are not blocked, I could also work on the BBS syncdraw while remote.

Of course doing it the other way is possible, but I don't think that is really
the issue.

There are lots of ways to get news, gopher, messages, emails, multitudes of
things outside of anyone's BBS.

BBS operators want integrations, that make their boards unique. In this case I
think the way to look at it is not via a justification of can't you do it
another way, but rather is it possible to do it via the BBS through its
terminal services interface.

If always can't you do it another way; which I do a lot of, then nothing enters
intothe BBS terminal as a feature or service.

I think syncdraw via the BBS terminal services would be a neat feature similar
to /meme , the avatars, ... etc.
