   No one seems to be interested in building a new offline packet     
   system.   
      
   Maybe a new packet system that supports some utf-8 and     
   integrated with a local message management database system     
   would be quite nice for people who are primarily interested in     
   just the echomail from any FTN-based system.  Oh wait.. it     
   already exists - it's called OpenXP!  :D   
      
   As for "supports some utf-8", it's primarily limited what the      
   DOS terminal [char sets or font seletion] system can do or not.   
      
   Oh.. another system that *does* claim to support a broader     
   implementation for utf-8 is WinPoint.
