Some clever people have come up with a way to use ax25d to bring up Synchronet
for incoming AX.25 connections (I don't see why this couldn't be done for other
BBS software).  One unresolved issue though is file transfer protocols.  I
don't fancy reading echomail over 1200 bps half duplex! :D  Being able to
download a QWK packet would be nice. :)  At least if you have IP, you can use
FTP, which does work well over packet radio.  I have a 44.x subnet, which I can
put a BBS on.  A few of the local hams are keen on playing packet radio again. 
I have a LinBPQ node running (complete with packet TNC), just have to hook it
up to a radio, so it can be accessed over the air.

Even in countries that restrict listening, ham radio is often exempt from such
restrictions and can be publicly monitored.
