I would like to see a mailbox system, like the Packet TNCs of old, but with modern narrow band modes. The requirement to communicate with a server to pass mail is not quite what I am looking for. No, just a standalone mailbox that someone can connect to, and leave a msg or, connect to and pickup a msg. Yes, PSKmail is close, but needs the server connection. 73s Jack VK4JRC
