    It has an 's <sysop_callsign>' command for sending mail to the sysop.
    The sysop gets to see it as E-mail. But it's one way only. There is no
    'r' command for the user to read a reply. No 3rd party mail.

    AWZnode is really an on-demand loading node (very good), not a PMS or
    BBS.

    What I do here for a PMS is, to tell users to reconnect to my AWZnode
    and leave me an E-mail with 's', or drop me a line at the local BBS.
    LinPac then downloads it on the hour. Sorry, I can't be more
    helpful...

    With regards to the 'talk' problem somebody mentioned, make sure that
    'mesg y' is executed on the terminal you want to talk to. I have it in my
    .bash_profile
