Connection to the Reticulum Stack

Maybe I overlooked some documentation, but how do i actually use the Node in Transport Mode?
My thoughts are that this firmware enables the use of an interface on the node (ble, wifi) to connect to reticulum without the need for the network stack on the client device (phone, pc, etc connected to the rnode in transport mode).

In an ideal implementation, the firmware would allow easy access to lxmf on reticulum without the need for the network stack on the client device.

That's correct. It's mainly meant to act as a LoRa "router" to extend the mesh without needing a host attached to the radio,. I haven't tested it with WiFi but I imagine if the RNode were configured to connect to WiFi as well then it should be able to relay packets between WiFi and LoRa.

In an ideal implementation, the firmware would allow easy access to lxmf on reticulum without the need for the network stack on the client device.
The plan is to implement an "API" interface to this firmware that allows the attached device (iOS, Android, PC) to send/receive simple LXMF messages to/from a destination to free the attached device from the requirement of running the Python stack. Stay tuned.

This sounds promising. If I can help with testing or further development I'd like to help!
