Everything is being done in bby foot steps - if I can gt it working smoothly 
over 9600bps - then those cities that have mbps or even gbps services for home 
users will obviously be able to enjoy. I only have the dial-up system here so I 
can retrofit back to FroDo... I am a partner in a WiSP in Kentucky, where 
highspeed is not available yet - but through wide area WiFi - we a able to 
provide service to people (places "VERIZON" does not even cover)... there are 
many *markets* dial-up is still viable.

However, everything I am developing is also being forward compatible with my 
cross platform compilers - so I can do it over TCP, RTCP, etc. I worked so much 
on the JAMAPI for example, as I want it to be the backend for my FMTP 
(Unproposed FIDONET MESSAGE TRANSPORT PROTOCOL) ... to get buy-in of course, I 
am rewriting JAMNNTPd - so I can stress test my code. As FMTP servers would 
work like SMTP - echoing from Regional Hub to Regional Hub, Country to Country. 
BBSes could elect to stream "On Demand" per user, or "Fetch/Post" like we 
currently do. The Server code easily handles 50,000 concurrent connections - so 
in the long run, operating a BBS would be more of the focus on "Look and 
Features", Messaging would become centralized on a FMTP network. If JAMAPI does 
not work out, then I own a SQL Database company, and I can leverage that tech 
and equipment as the backend... but, I am trying to keep it in a technology I 
feel is more appropriate.

FMTP works like NNTP for client Fetch/Post, and more like POP4 for On Demand.

I have already started a plugin for PHPBB, so it looks like the threads are on 
the web server, however, the output is coming from my Arizona FMTP Server in 
PHPBB HTML. But, I am months out until these go outside my testers. We are 
still focused on JAMNNTPd rewrite right now... ;-)

SCALE GOAL: Raspberry Pi Zero with FULL Backbone. As close to zero diskspace as 
possible. (With or Without DOSEMU).
