In addition to having a bbs or two available I've sometimes thought if anyone would be interested in a setup to allow linux shell accounts to retro users. Could be interesting to some to have text based email lynx and ftp for retro users. Anyone interested?]
setting up a linux machine with internet access is not too difficult so its doable. I looking at phone line for bbs and may get 2nd or 3rd line for shell access if anyone interested.
I've always felt that would be a valuable service to people interested in utilizing only retro computers for their day-to-day computing needs, while remaining in touch with the modern day world. Of course, doing so would preclude using this forum... :-\

Cool; I wasn't aware this was possible! I'd like to know more about this setup.

My dial-up shell account with Iglou.com makes it all possible. Others use the dial-up shell accounts on the more national Eskimo.com or sdf.lonestar.org What else would you like to know?
