   Why??? And Yes I eventually will need to have support to feed downstream   
   and/or other nodes and probably a private net and get feeds for LinuxNET, as I   
   have plans for some things, basically to revive some of the things I was doing   
   when I ran my original node 1:129/220... I am tied of the filth that is/has   
   ruined one of my passions, and the website and greed that has ruined things....   
      
   I have crashmail that comes from apt-get on buntu's 14.04 ESR   
      
   I have the manual from the other site github or something... but crashmail   
   doesn't seem to generate PKT's when I do   
      
   crashmail SETTINGS crashmail.prefs SCAN   
      
   Even though it says it is...

   Thanks, but dragging in Husky and all its excess baggage is not really a plan   
   or option, as eventually I would like to put my FTN mailer on a Pi to let it   
   run on its own with a shared file system for Golded to read from...   
      
   If I was going to use Husky I may as well just run DOSBox and setup FD, but   
   since my local net uses Binkd and I need binkp that is not an option. Or even   
   go dig out the telebits and V.90/92 modems in the shed and run it that way....
