[MVMA] Is there a local, IP connected, WinLink2000 RMS gateway?

[William Curtice]

Winlink offers a post office that can be hosted by a Windows client on the
mesh.  The post office can be configured in many ways; it can hold local
mail for pickup via mesh, forward mail to global Winlink CMS Server,
 etc.  Works with telnet; instructions are in the box.  Forcing it into an
RPi..... not sure.  However, speed is not an issue, so emulators may be ok.
