    Do you think something like what IMAP does for email might work?

    Yes and no. Yes, in that IMAP synchronises prefectly between devices,
    no in that most implementations still leave you tied to the network
    back end in real time - I know you can go offline with IMAP too, but..

    If an IMAP-like solution could work with fidonet, what's the problem with being "tied to the network"? I guess I don't catch your meaning.


    The modern reality is we are highly mobile nowadays, and some of us do
    swap devices fery frequently, depending on needs at the time.

    Maybe a mock demo would help describe your vision.

    This has nothing to do with the conversation, except I was going to look back into it to see what the background was on it and see it was from nnearly 2 years ago?
