I would think so. There's probably some perl or python script out there to whip
up an areas.bbs. Heck, I may even have it already (just looked, I do).
I just hope that it can export and import all the links without having to do so
manually. I probably have somewhere around 100, if not more. Doing that
manually is the main reason I haven't switched tossers yet.

That's definitely a plus. Manually having to change each and every one would be
a PITA.

You're just using Linux, right? Wilfred can probably just give you his binaries
for fmail and ftools and off you go. I had to compile for ARM (Raspberry Pi),
which is really the only reason I had to do it myself, since nobody had done it
yet.
Regards,
Nick
