All you need to do is replace Trapdoor with BinkD for transferring packets to
and from your host. Nothing else changes.. You still use E!'s mail processing
tools. You just can't launch a node from BinkD like you can from trapdoor
because all binkd does is transfer mail. you will still need to setup a
working telnetd.device for each node you wish to run (change unit # for each
node)
