My mailer supports IBN, IFC and ITN:60177, so FD (or any ITN capable)
nodes are always welcome to connect here. :)

I think you could run the binkd daemon there along with FD. If you just
add the nodes you want binkd to handle in your binkd.cfg it will only
send those packets, it just wouldn't know what to do with the other
stuff so it would leave it alone. Binkd uses the BinkleyStyleOutbound
though, that could be difficult.

I think Irex would be a solution, it can deal with FD's outbound. It
would take some configuring so Irex would leave the stuff FD should
handle alone but I think that's doable. You'd need to have Irex run
from an event in FD and I can't remember how to do that but the folks
in this echo could give us a clue. I did run Irex from BT in the past
and it worked well.

No solutions there, sorry.. but ideas.. :)
