Are there still any dial up Apple 2 related BBS's left? I have a Hayes
modem that could be put to good use. However, I figured that I could
"piggyback" my Macs internet connection on the A2 and telnet that way.
A2 Central's web site leads me to believe this is possible, but
doesn't explain how to do it.
