I ran ANET BBS on my //c for a bit, and at the same time it was also on
a friend's GS.  It sure helps to stuff the main program into a 1 meg
/ram drive!  And I didn't even have a 3.5" back then!

Pity the program outlived the author...


There is not much more flexible than a BBS written in BASIC.  We had
some seriously neat stuff in there when we got bored with it.
(spinning cursors, proterm sounds and emulation, etc)
