Now I wonder if it would be possible to add Linpac to that machine so that Linpac could access FBB mails in a way as if uses another computer and ham radio to access the bbs computer by air? Or in the other words: Could Linpac be installed to access a simulated packet network (a node + fbb) in the same computer, so to handle mails within the fbb? I suppose that something like that might be achieved by some tcpip operation (such as telnet localhost, or something similar), but I'd like to rather see it by axip or axudp connection that better mimics real ham radio traffic. (If you ask me for reasons why I asked for that, well I am just not satisfied with FBB's client applications xfbbC and similar solutions.) Misko
