I now hope exporting will be possible as well.
Probably. A unix mailbox or folder is more or less a plain text file where each message begins with "From ....." (not From: ...). While I don't see the point in converting them to SOUP, if you really want to use a SOUP reader, one way to convert them is to split them into individual messages and use the above-mentioned x_spool utility. > HE> ...in Linux, I use... ...ztelnet... > > I can't tell if there's a `SlackWare'-compatible `ZTelNet' version. > Would you think it's capable of "sharing" a ~TelNet~ session with my old > friend `Kermit' (or `C-Kermit' in that case, might i say)?... `MiniCOM' > requires an external Vitual ~TelNet MoDem "shim", as i recall.

However, the tarball contains a pre-compiled binary that should run on any version of Linux, if you can't compile it. The binary works with Debian (Woody), but I didn't try it on BasicLinux. Ztelnet is a telnet client with internal zmodem. External file transfer protocols can also be used, but I have no idea if they would work with a BBS. Minicom is a terminal program (Telix clone).
