The problem here is that there isn't much of a way to secure messages:
	* If over telnet, you need to accept plain-text (user system -> host bbs) then
 encrypt. Message is unsecure in transit + 3rd party (the bbs) has the plain
text message
	* If over SSH the second part still applies

With an external tool (e.g. PGP), users have security: They can paste the
message in the FSE for example *already* encrypted. It's never in a compromised
 situation.
