replace bbSes with networks and you've got the idea.

So, say for example you Avon and MeatLotion decided they wanted the
general area on fsxnet and tqwnet to be linked together, you could use
this bridge to pull out all the new fsx_gen messages and put them in
tqwnet general, and vice versa.

pretty much all it does is read new messages from message base a and post
them on message base b, and the opposite. So I suppose it could be used
to link bbs message bases, but they'd both have to be using squish.

i made it because i thought it would be cool to be able to have a way for
linking FTN and WWIVnet message bases (I know mark does that with
WWIV-Ftn, this is just another way to do it, and i think mark uses some
pretty particular setup to do it.)

Talisman can't host a WWIVnet message base, so you'd need a sysop of a
wwiv bbs to host it, but talisman could bridge the messages.
