mconv is an Internet BBS modelled after Monochrome BBS (menus rather than a command line). It includes several utilities for the conversion of BBS attributes to plain text, ANSI colour text, and HTML. It can also convert session logs and scrollback buffers to BBS format so they can be viewed in the BBS or in the included standalone file viewer.

It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.
postprox is a minimal Postfix SMTP proxy which copies an SMTP conversation between its input and another SMTP server, but spools the DATA portion to a temporary file and runs a specified program on it before passing it on to the output server. It can potentially output an SMTP error code instead of the data if the content filter says to do so.
Simple Rescue CD is a small Linux rescue CD, suitable for booting systems that have become unbootable due to filesystem corruption or other problems.
