Digipeating; BBS

Hi All!

Now bpq seems to be up and running (I managed to connect to my PMS through
ethernet; thanks Joerg!). However, I'd like to be able to connect to
on-the-air stations from my networked computer and I couldn't do it.
Should I need to set up a digipeater on the radio connected computer? Or
does a Linux box 'digipeat' with no special setup?

Another subject: Is there any good packet BBS for Linux available? It
should include sources (I like to compile my software, and maybe I could
'debianize' it), preferrably GPL'ed. If it supports some message
forwarding protocols, it would be even better. (And if it won't require a
week to setup, I'd love it! ;-))

Thank you very much for your answers, and rest assured that I'll keep on
asking until I can begin anwering question myself! (Maybe in a few
years... ;-))

Bye & Good Luck!

Pablo B.
