Hey bithaven,

Really interesting stuff. Reticulum and NomadNetwork are
exactly the kind of thing we've been looking at. The idea
of keeping the BBS interface in the client software and
only using the link layer for data transport makes a lot
of sense for slow links -- that's something we're thinking
about too for our mesh network experiments.

Your treadwell.network concept is fascinating. USB key
runners for disaster scenarios -- that's a whole different
approach to resilience. We've noted it in our project ideas
as something worth exploring further.

We're working on bridging BBS with Meshtastic/LoRa here
in Les Mechins and looking at all the ways to move messages
when traditional infrastructure is down. Your ideas fit
right into that vision.

Keep us posted on treadwell -- would love to see how it
develops.
