For the CMS absolutely, not perfect (as far as mail headers) but works.

Long answer, not really, short answer, most likely, but not sure :)

So if you have internet, one could say why not go to the CMS direct ? 
Because
Rob will no doubt have his Winliink RMS on internet as well, so what is 
gained ?

BUT having said that, you 'could' try to do what you propose below. B2F 
support
is most certainly in there, and aluding to my earlier 'not sure' remark, 
at one time
I was actively developing B2F (or trying to with Airmail, winlink 
express, winmor,
pactor devices), but nobody was knocking at the door, so I decided to 
just make
sure the CMS stuff worked. I have no problem tweaking the code if you 
can get
it to do something with RMS ... When I did this, I didn't have local RMS 
nodes
handy at the time, I suppose I could setup a test one, if you want to 
try go for it.

That's an 'application' password the CMS requires before you go any further.
