So then why not run the BBS over TCP/IP? TCP/IP would of course get rid of
the limitations serving connections over a phone line has (speed, limited
number of connections, no phone calls). I'd be very interested in connecting
to a BBS, I wasn't aware of them during the time when they were around
unfortunately and have yet to get to connect to one. Would certainly be cool
if someone set up a BBS server on a real CoCo :) ...and even cooler if it
was on a 800 number (kidding!)
