    I don't have a landline phone anymore so Wifi is my only option so
    I'm trying t o
    use Ethernet.
    Isn't there a Wifi C= interface too so I assume I could use either
    one.

    Hmm, why not set it up in an emulated C= system?

    Emulation is for lazy people. If you want to run a real BBS but feel you
    have to run it on emulation....... Good luck with that. Go big, or http://127.0.0.1

    EBAY is your friend.......

    But seriously, any retro is good retro. Yeah, I'm kind of a "no
    emulation for me" kind of guy, but I'd rather see emulated old school
    BBS's than no old school BBS's. I'd just personally never run one. If
    my Atari's all die and I can't replace them, then it's time to call it a
    day.
