   Ummmm, I'm not the best guy to guide you on Linux matters... Can I ask a   
   question...?  Is your goal just to send FidoNET Style Mail and or files between   
   systems, or do you want a dial up node to call out to get mail as needed   
   through a POTS line.    
      
   Currently, the idea of BBSes passing mail via dial up maybe a thing of the   
   past, just saying.... Everyone is on the Internet Train and there are fewer   
   and fewer active people on POTS lines.  Now in 2020 programmers cannot make   
   enough money to support themselves making BBS software ... Anyway... here we   
   are 2020 and there is no real solution for Dial up mailers written for Linux.   
   FROM WHAT I CAN SEE.....  Might be a way to scab things together... don't   
   know.   
      
   You mentioned FMail as a mail tosser.  I have used this tosser as a mail   
   tosser in windows and DOS.  I heard it has a Linux flavor and even better   
   it's still under development... it also works well with Bink (P)(D), Bink   
   comes in a Linux flavor so problem solved....   
      
   BTW, what BBS package are you trying to run?
