   Some clever people have come up with a way to use ax25d to bring up Synchronet   
   for incoming AX.25 connections (I don't see why this couldn't be done for other   
   BBS software).  One unresolved issue though is file transfer protocols.  I   
   don't fancy reading echomail over 1200 bps half duplex! :D  Being able to   
   download a QWK packet would be nice. :)  At least if you have IP, you can use   
   FTP, which does work well over packet radio.  I have a 44.x subnet, which I can   
   put a BBS on.  A few of the local hams are keen on playing packet radio again.    
   I have a LinBPQ node running (complete with packet TNC), just have to hook it   
   up to a radio, so it can be accessed over the air.

   Even in countries that restrict listening, ham radio is often exempt from such   
   restrictions and can be publicly monitored.
