   Hey Charles!

   Agreed.  All that is really needed is a text editor for creating posts and/or   
   replies and (un)packer to deal with raw pkt's.  Something along the line of an   
   offline reader except it would use the FTN formatting to keep it perfectly in   
   sync with ftn practices.   
      
    CP> If I am understanding correctly, that set up could act like a   
    CP> server to connect to with a mobile device to connect to Fidonet?   
      
   Not like a server but instead an actual real server.  At the moment they both   
   are used by local devices to connect with the internet without any   
   interference from their regular provider.  So far none have taken it to the   
   fidonet level - other than my 10.1" Android tablet that used termux and my   
   extra-special bash scripts - to actually send msg's via the access point's   
   binkd.  I did post a few msg's in this echoarea not that long ago.   
      
    CP> but are interested in QWK style message applications   
      
   I will ALWAYS pass on QWK.  The offline idea is what attracts me but instead   
   keeping to text messages for posting/reading/replying purposes and then   
   tacking the crappy msg headers when creating the outbound pkt for the   
   bossnode.  That way no gateways for conversion(s) are needed.  So far this has   
   worked best at this end.   
      
   Life is good,

   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
