That is what I originally thought 10 years ago or so.  I had it working but
I didn't trust it to go to the airwaves with and abandoned that idea then. 
Since there hasn't been much demand other then for messaging.

I think you're right.  We did some playing around on the wireless with
windows boxes and found the experience disappointing from that perspective.
 The Linux boxes (consoles) are infinitely better for BBSing.

No big deal.  I haven't noticed one in quite some time now.  Perhaps you
were using it on a different machine then and it had trouble with
randomizing?  Beats me.  It was only a couple messages in the Linux echo if
I recall correctly and they were different messages but showed up as dupes
because they had the same msgid.

Not to worry about it.  I am still playing with the concept.  The microperl
is simply a trimmed down perl with basic functionality.  I compiled an
optimized one and it sits at around 600k as opposed to the +30M for the
basic perl package and modules.  I think I'll use it with ttylinux.

Life is good,
Maurice
