[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] DNET BBS's?

I've been using DNET for some time and find it very useful.  I am
also in the process of writing BBS software for the Amiga.  One thing
that really caught my interest in the documentation to DNET is the
reference to a DNET BBS.  Has anybody really tried playing around with
doing such a thing yet?  It sounds as though Matt was close to having
just such a BBS working.  Is this true Matt?  And if so, what's the
status of this project?  Soon I will begin work on a new bbs program
that will be completely intuition based, and DNET appears to supply
just the underlying error correcting protocol I need.  The user would
simply have BBS client software that is completely window and mouse
driven.  When the user then clicks on a gadget or something, this
message will then simply be sent over the DNET connection to the BBS
server at the other end.  Has anyone else considered this idea?  If
the DNET software were then ported to other systems such as the MAC
and Microsoft Windows for DOS machines, then we could have graphic
window based BBS system that would be accessible by different computer
systems...
