Don't know anything about Excelsior but you can either go with Binkd on your
Amiga and suffer a bit since it will crash frequently or you can try to find a
hub to poll from that supports IEMSI and use Trapdoor. 

I run Binkd on a Linux box, do tossing with Crashmail II on the same Linux box
and then imports/exports all fidonet stuff via NFS to my Amiga. It's a pretty
crazy setup in a way but it actually works fine.
