   Ah, I see.  That would cover the public message areas, but what about    
   things like files and door games?  Door games in particular are still    
   fairly popular.   
      
   Also, for the type of app you're describing, I think the BBS server    
   software would likely need to specially support that, too.  Some BBS    
   software (such as Synchronet) has a built-in NNTP server, which may work    
   with an app like that, but NNTP is probably not an optimal protocol for    
   that purpose.
