That is excellent. The app is not much different then using  
telnet or ssh clients to "connect" with a bbs. Furthermore, if  
the bbs is hosted on the cloud or VPS, then the combination  
looks very much like what the Telegram arrangement is.

Stas has merely learned to leverage the Telegram servers (or  
its VPS) for establishing a BBS-like environment for messaging  
and building a custom tosser/scanner to accomplish the merging  
with FTN.

We can just refuse to use the term gate when refering to it.
