Is it possible to run a test net for playing with out running a BBS software? Kind of wanting to skip the menus for screenreaders/tts
devices. Is there a good reason for ftn vs qwk?
Also what does it mean for a ftp based feed? One of the othernets on
here said that they host nodes via a ftp link.

You could get yourself a point and do it that way. A point software has a mailer and message reader so you basically do what a BBS does (toss & scan messages) without a BBS.
QWK is simpler. You can use any QWK reader.
WinPoint might be a good place to start, you can grab it from..
http://winpoint.org down at the bottom of that page.

That just means they transfer mail and files using ftp instead of a mailer.
Ttyl :-),
