For the BBS Network:
I still don't have a clue as to how to estimate this.
You basically answered your own question above. There really isn't a
true and accurate way of calculating figures, especially those who
aren't using ipencap or those who can't use ipencap. What about MARS
systems? Most don't use ipencap but I know some that do.
What is the presentation you're drafting designed to achieve as a goal?
I'm sure you can come up with a best guess effort for numbers you seek.
Stations come and go daily... I don't think there is such a thing as
accurate numbers based on that factor alone. You can only make a best
guess.
Cheers.
