I wonder how many folks still directly dial from their Apple II's ? I
haven't personally done that since about 1992.

These days I'd bet the vast majority are using either another local
machine as a gateway, or have their Apple II ethernet equipped.

There are a lot of ways around the problem on the client end that would
avoid having to maintain server side software.
