 JD>> Telegram has just updated their Bit spec, and it's now possible to

It's a long description, but you can start here : https://core.telegram.org/bots/samples

 e> The FTN stuff might be easier to port, actually, but I'm trying to picture

Off the top of my head, a few of the things that might fit with a bot integration might be 
- access to file areas
- download of mail (like a QWK door)
- a binkp like transfer of mail packets 
etc
