For Linux-based bbs's, C-Kermit would be quite straightforward to setup,
similar in fact to setting up C-Kermit as an uploader/downloader in
Lynx. Setting up an Internet Kermit Server Daemon (IKSD) is similar to
setting up an FTP server.
For a DOS-based bbs, I've successfully setup the most recent beta of MSK
3.16 as an external protocol with Maximus and the Bluewave mail door.
MSK uses the FOSSIL interface of the bbs. It would be easier for you to
contact me at my Fidonet address (Arthur Marsh at 3:800/812) if you want
details of the MSK and Maximus configuration files.
