Hey Tanausu!

Why not a modified binkp transfer of BBS offline files instead?  Why is 
everyone so set on making obsolete protocols of non-ftn messaging?

To be honest I am not interested in anything that doesn't account for FTN 
msg'ing, offline or otherwise.  My stuff works 100% and currently uses scp to 
do transfers between points and the node.

"Little Mikey's Brain" doesn't require ANY abandonware.  The only thing lacking 
is ye ol' hobby networking philosopy of olde.
