Can I strongly suggest to interface to F6FBB ?
- It is one of the main BBS programs.
- If you can interface to it, all the stuff of storing mails, etc... 
will already be done.
- It seems that a lot of people are using it with Pactor TNC.
- There are, builtin, POP3, NEWS (NNTP) and SMTP servers,
which make F6FBB usable with any mail program : Outlook express, any ...
One can read Packet nulletins with any News reader : Really great.

Some questions :
- I am more and more interested by Pactor but do not
known which kind of RX buying for HF. What do you suggest, please ?
- And how about the interface to the sound card ? (I'm not that good at 
soldering, resistors, etc...)
- Does hfterm creates an AX25 interface like Soundmodem does ? It would 
be so convenient ...

By the way, the web site you mentionned does not work, but this one does :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hfterm
