Unfortunately, Blue Wave is "system specific" meaning it will
only work with the BBS the version you have is designed for (such as
Maximus, Telegard, et cetera).  Blue Wave won't read/write QWK packets from
the BBS as it is designed to directly pull/post the mail to/from the
message base used by each BBS software using that software's message base
structures.

Since you're running Synchronet, good luck.  There's hardly any third-party
utilities for Synchronet and AFAIK, there is no BW-style door for it.

You might just have to write this one yourself or get someone else to do
it.  I know that MBSE and Ezycom BBS software can read/write Blue Wave
packets natively.

Later,
Sean
