L&L doesn't do Fruity Dog, it's third party, and as far as I'm concerned,
I'm staying away from Fido as much as I can...

I don't know if Paul Parkhurst is actually doing anything with Usenet..

Anyways, GBBS isn't worth it, and everything should be third party.. I'd
just buy Metal/FV and wait for the gateway... Read-only Usenet is already
available, and the code is being re-written for Future Vision v5.0.

An OggNet gateway is very feasable, in the terms of networking via the
FutureNet networking system.  It's being done right now (UseNet -> FVNet)
and OggNet is being looked into.
