Subj : Binkley style access for QWKnet

Heya!

I would like to offer DOVEnet on my board, but I am constrained by Ezycom's
QWK support. I think.

Support exists for users to exchange QWK packets for offline
reading/writing, as well as something called BlueWave, but it doesnt seem
like thats appropriate for a QWKnet scheme. Unless I'm missing something
obvious?

When I write to an echo area, I can provide arbitrary names in the To field,
but non-echo/netmail areas validate against the local userbase, which seems
to be a deal breaker.

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but is there a binkley style method to
send/poll DOVEnet with binkd? Or maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong,
and barking up the wrong tree?

Keen to learn, and perhaps gain some insight!

Cheers
