 AA> My latter system was only FTN echomail + email by then.

My Telegard system had internet email back in the day.  I offered each user
a free email address of <username>@nrbbs.net.  I'm toying with the idea of
setting that up again, though I can't for the life of me remember just how I
had that set up.

 AA> A similar "pre-packaged" approach is lacking today.

Exactly!  As much as I would like to get some USB sticks with Syncterm
installed & pre-configured to connect to Northern Realms, I don't think that
would work in 2020.  If someone handed me a free USB stick I would 
automatically assume it had malware on it.

 AA> Something that would be presentable on a tablet/smartphone would be good
 AA> too.

I would love a high quality app on my iPhone that gets all of my FTN messages.

 AA> If you feel that's where your target audience hangs out, why not.  Let
 AA> us know how that goes!
