even a command line way, if i've read the code properly, to
scan and pack new QWK packets for users in a similar
fashion that dale shipp does for some of his users...

I don't know how many of you know this but I am a member of the MBSE
BBS Development Team (the BBS software that I run). I have been
thinking about adding the ability to upload/download offline mail via a web page for the BBS.
Would this be something of interest to users like you (if you use "traditional" offline mail)?
Also, MBSE has a built-in NNTP server that can gate echomail<->NNTP.
Would this be of interest? I can work on figuring out how to set it up properly.

i'm sure it would be useful for some... SBBS offers this out of the
box and i have used it in the past... there's even a command line way,
if i've read the code properly, to scan and pack new QWK packets for
users in a similar fashion that dale shipp does for some of his
users...
The short answer is that both of those things would be of interest to some, and that they might also allow other people to access fidonet
who would not otherwise do so. What you are asking about is exactly
what DOC's Place does (plus his system allows for online reading and replying to messages).
OTOH -- there are some nay sayers who would complain against such
because "allowing internet access is not fidonet". I don't agree with them. Nor do I agree with the same people's statements that there are
no more users in fidonet, only sysops.
Doc's has had that from the get-go. And Tiny's is web-accessible -
telnet via browser I think. Never hurts to have another arrow in the quiver.

TTTT, I'm thinking of the news server option for me when I'm "out and about" as it's easier for me to open a news reader than it is to SSH
into my own system and I'd have a GUI interface. Yeah, even I like a
GUI every now and again.
I believe that there are a number of good news reader programs out
there. The one I have been using for years is called Gravity. I
would not use a news reader that did not allow for filters, and it has pretty good ones.

Gravity is very good. I've used it before. Isn't it open source now?
I use Pan which is available on Windows, Linux, *BSD and OS X and is
open source.
From its website: http://pan.rebelbase.com/
According to the web site, that is true. I have been using it since
it was a paid program -- it is now freeware.
Never heard of that one, but it looks like it might well have the same functionallity as my Gravity. But once I find something I like, I
tend to stick with it until forced to change for some reason. Hence
why still using BlueWave, Meal Master, etc.

Pan is indeed based partially on Agent and Gravity. What I do like is that Pan is well-known for its massive and easy downloading capacity.
I love to collect pictures of old cars. I can go into a binary
newsgroup, select 6000 pictures, and download them with three
keystrokes. My NNTP provider allows up
to 60 concurrent connections at once so it doesn't take too long to do that.
In that case, you might be interested in this web site: http://www.elmersautoandtoymuseum.com/home.html
I used to subscribe to a free newserver that had binarys and would download pictures of flowers and owls. But they shut down, and my
current free feed does not seem to have binary files. OTOH, I'm not
too worried about that.
