I ran a BBS about 10 years ago from my //gs.  It was my old GBBS ported 
to run on Metal.  You could telnet to it, even made a PTSE emulator in 
Visual Basic to access it.  I left it up for a year.  There was interest 
for 2 or so weeks, and then maybe it got one "call" a day or two days. 
Plenty of games, message boards and whatever.  No one is interested, 
that's why there aren't any up....
