Greetings,

I have been experimenting with NNCP (node to node copy -
https://www.nncpgo.org) lately and was interested that it was not mentioned
(at least on the message groups that my bbs has).

NNCP provides tools that allow for packet(file) transfers between and through
configured nodes. These packets are encrypted as security is one of the main
goals of this protocol.

A while back Avon and several other people were experimenting using keybase
(https://keybase.io) as a secure way to exchange data and message packets
between BBSs but I believe that NNCP could provide a better match.

The goal of NNCP is to be a modern replacment for UUCP.  Some of its features
are:
* encrypted packets
* store and forward
* static routing between and through multiple nodes
* packet multicasting
* resuming interupted packet transfer
* large file/packet transfer using chunks
* remote execuction
* scheduling (connections can be scheduled)
* priority configuration

Anyway, I would like to know what others think of the possibilities.
