Not Fidonet, because the world has moved on, but Briar is designed with a similar store-and-forward architecture as a delay-tolerant messaging system with strong security guarantees, intended to work across whatever transport is available in the moment for exactly this kind of situation. While we're a ways from being ready for use in any kind of high-risk (or even low-risk-but-real) scenario, we've got an early alpha out if you want to play with it. We're also looking for more help, especially from developers (Java; Android, Swing, JDBC, concurrency, etc.); we're happy to mentor less-experienced developers.
