Most sysops tend to keep their QWK door open, and don't bother offering BWs.
The BW reader is hobbled by the lack of a native door, but still quite
functional with QWKs offering. (Inability to configure echo tags remotely, and
perhaps matrix/netmail area weirdness...) I read twice about fixes. I'll see if
my posting about that to my sysop still exists on his local area.

PS: Forwarded message to follow.
