  I have heard rumors of CP/M RBBS late nite, automatic message exchange
networks (like UUCP?).  I am interested in using this technique to exchange
mail between my Packet Radio RBBS and other packet LAN's.  If anyone has
any information on protocols, people doing this, please let me know.

If such systems don't exist, I have a draft for an inter-lan message
protocol and would be interested in sharing my ideas.

  Comment in passing.  I have modified BYE.ASM into several versions.
One allows access from a normal VHF-FM Amateur RTTY station, and the other
from a Amateur Packet Radio station though my TNC.  I am currently using
RBBS.BAS for the bulletin board, but am in the process of writing a
system that is specially tailored to Amateur Packet Radio (using ideas
stolen from Frank Wancho's RBBS4.C).
