Could you put it back online for a little while so we could have a look around?

With the relatively small sized audience of A2 BBS users, I don't mind catching a busy every once in a while. At least for now, it's still a novelty.

What about running multiple emulators?

Wouldn't that present some file sharing problems?

METAL is light years ahead of ACOS and would be a good base to start. Telnet access would be great. I had my old hacked up Metal BBS on the net for a while. So did Terry Olsen. The biggest drawback is the lack of multi-user. That is the biggest downfall of an A2 BBS on the net. Lotsa people, from all over the world, can, but can't get on at the same time...

Michael here is your next opportunity for an AppleCrate II demo!!!

Turn the system into a 16 node BBS with Ethernet capability in the Master and Nadanet downstream to each of the nodes.

Wouldn't that be awesome?
