Here's what you need:

FidoNet inbound packet processor defragments
packets, speeds up tossing on SQUISH and JAM:
PacketSorter is a utility for defragmenting, splitting, unsplitting,
cleaning and sorting inbound FidoNet (FTS-0001) message packets. It has
been developed in the first place because the time the echomail tosser
Squish needs to toss messsages into the messagebase heavily depends on
the fragmentation level of the packets received. The packets you
receive from your links are usually not sorted in any order.
PacketSorter groups the messages contained in the packets by their area
tag. On my system the packets defragmented with PacketSorter are tossed
by Squish up to 5 times faster than the original packets. The
performance gain you will notice depends on the tosser you use, the
messagebase you use and the performance of your disk subsystem. People
using a Hudson-style messagebase or a hardware cache controller for the
harddisk may notice no performance gain at all. PacketSorter is not
limited to be used only with Squish. You may use PacketSorter with any
other echomail processor.
