Rein - I would say your list of items is a good place to start: * Storage of mail not deliverable via internet (immediate delivery in case of internet connection) * Store/forward of mail to a destination BBS via a HF link * User interface via Kmail or Evolution (POP3 interface) * Capability to send scheduled bulletins * Built in web server so people can also look at the mail locally (at the server location, which may be a command post of some sorts) via a connected LAN with a laptop The only other thing I would add would be the ability to store and acess simple text files. Don't try to make it do everything! (I agree with your comments about the ones that are out there now!) -- 73 - Bill - N8ET Kanga US www.kangaus.com 419-423-4604 (Kanga) 419-423-5643 (home)
