-> 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.   
      
   Winserver already has the "Wildcat Navigator" if Hector would release an   
   API for it i'm sure that other aspects can be added.  As for files   
   every thing on the ipad and Android goes through their respective app   
   stores unless you jailbreak or go through a developer access.  Many   
   won't do that.   
      
   As for doors even a whole new class of games could be developed... but   
   conferences and messaging has been the heart of the BBS since day 1.
