[Coco] RiBBS

[Ron Bihler]

That sounds like a fun idea, with Site Player anyone could log onto the BBS 
software.  The other option is a Network to Serial connection and one could 
loggin via Telnet.

Might be a fun winter project if I can find the RiBBS source someplace.

Still doesn't help to put the old modems to use (Grin).  I have some some 
old tablet PC that sure could be used for VCC.
