Sounds like NNCP would be a good protocol to run on my ad-hoc wifi

like a good match.

Special thanks to John Goerzen for working on the system and
posting the news.  I'm very excited!  I wish I could be emailing
John on NNCPNET already.  (I'm close to.)

I got NNCP to work on my OpenBSD and FreeBSD, but I still need to
learn to use it properly.  I was able to transfer a file, but I
couldn't find it on my file system after the packet was
transferred.  I also saw some crashes using nncp-call on OpenBSD.
I need to stop and try again and ask for help with the details
ready.  I wanted to follow up sooner than later to say that I was
very happy to see the news.

Take care of yourself!  And when you're ready, the nncp-devel list
might be a good place to ask for help with some of those things.
 
https://www.complete.org/nncp-concepts/ might also be helpful.

im currently enamored by plan9 tinkering at the moment, maybe nncp
could be used there too.

good work
