umm... you have to have a bbs to run a door of any kind ;)

why not just set up a point and do it the fidonet way? you can set up a
point with three pieces of FTN software...

fastecho, fmail or hpt for tosser...
binkd for mailer...
timed or golded for reader...
no need for zip or any archivers if you send raw PKTs back and forth...

you don't say what OS you're running on your desktop... the above is pretty
generic but geared toward winwhatever... for linux, hpt, binkd, and golded
are what i'm using... i don't even use a nodelist on this point system but
if i did, it would be the daily one so no diffs need be applied...

Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin'
it wrong...
