-Net compatible, but do you really want to be processing messages all day? I run 2 HUBS on the NISSA Network for Image (Soon will have DS2's hooked up to it) those HUBS are connected to half the network 2 HUBS feed 22 nodes of the network, and they are constantly churning.. Yes there is down time but getting Fido style nets into a C64 network would be tough again because of the processing time. BTW that 2 meg file was about 300 messages, Fido churns out on average 500-1000 messages a day. fsxNet churns out about 2-400 messages a day. Although C=Net is technically new it can if it gets popular again churn out those types of numbers.. Not saying it can't be done, but I don't think it is worth it.

ess the hundreds of messages. NOW yes you could probably write a program to convert the messages to Image or C-Net compatible, but do you really want to be processing messages all day?
