Gotcha, cool. I was reading about this a bit last night.

 Nu> https://activitypub.rocks/ is a good place to get the gist.

Yeah, this is what I found thanks to some light googling :)

So basically there appear to be two ways to implement this on a BBS:

- gating AP to FTN somehow
- having some sort of AP mod on a BBS to allow for direct communication

The second here is what interests me from a modding perspective, hell, it could be cool to get something done here for other BBSes. How are you doing this with Enig?
