WWIV BinkP works well for overall FTN Network SUN messages. I have it
configured for about 8 FTN networks. Posting, sending receiving functionality
works fairly consistently. There are some quirks with File bases. AreaFix and
FileFix functinality also work fairly well with some networks a  little
glitchy. Netwail / echomail works to and from the FTN Hub, but not to other users or nodes
in the network. For HUBS that support more than one network for your board's
node, your board's password must be the same. (Note that I am running a fairly
recent compile from git, on ARM Linux.

Would be interested in how you progress.

Shaggy
