[nos-bbs] Status update, fldigi, and soundmodem

[Bill]

Looking forward to giving it a try.

Might be a good opportunity to get aprs-messenger working with fldigi.

I'm surprised you went with the Sailor soundmodem instead of Dire Wolf.  Seems to be a constant stream of improvements on dire wold (and uz7ho) where the old system hasn't had any publicity.
