You went from QWK networking to regular QWK in this reply :)  If he wants to
be a node, he might be interested in FidoQWK, which converts QWK packet to
PKT files and vice versa.  He would still need and FTN echomail processor.

Why not give SearchLight a try with the Valence QWK mail door, which allows
for both QWK hubbing as well as for tossing and scanning net-status QWK hubs
