    Still as a tech opportunity I find it interesting to see NNTP gateway under BBS credentials to access FTNs discussions via usenet client. I think Synchronet allows it, yet I don't see anybody truly enabling it.

    Have you tested many BBSes to see if they have NNTP runing? I thought most Synchronet BBSes had NNTP enabled.
