Hi,
Yes I am trying Aftershock for now.
I have also setup Newstap on my iphone over nntp to see if I can make this process work better for me.
I'm not sure an ftn connection for me is the best way to attack this problem.
What I'm looking for is a common way to access the message bases on my system in a way that I do not have to be woried about what type of network they are connected to from the client side.
For my mobile phones nttp may fit the bill for this as long as my bbs does the stripping of my e-mail address on outgoing posts.

In windows I am still up in the air about my method of access as I am not sure of what usenet reader I should use.
Another idea I had is I wonder if in windows I could turn each message base into its own mailing list where I'd have somebasename@kf4yey.com as the e-mail address and then I would run authenticated smtp and imap on non-standard ports to allow me to send mail through my board in the cloud while using Outlook on the windows side.
In Linux I would just use telnet over ssh or whatever to use the editor I have built in to Synchronet itself.

I'm sorry I can not see the image in this link because I am blind, and you didn't have any way of knowing this ahead of time.
I believe I have things setup properly on the client side the issue I am having is I don't think I have things completely setup right on the bbs for operating a boss / point node configuration.
Another issue is that I would have to create a node for each ftn I want to communicate through and this would increase the complexity on me to do this as well as not being able to have access to Dovenet through my client because it is not an ftn.

Thanks,
