Maybe you've seen, maybe not. But, I got FTN working with Impulse/Linux.
I found a version of DOSBox that allows the identification of lowercase
filenames. So, to send outgoing bundles I do this:

run IMP-MAIL all (within DOS)
Then run HP pack scan

And then, on the Linux side:

./hpt pack scan

The only problems i'm having now, is the incorrect date in the message header.

Impulse (7.1b) is  Y2K-compliant, but I guess IMP-MAIL isn't. :(

Anyway, just an update.

Thanks,
