But does it matter? We're in this for our own enjoyment. I run dialup
style BBSs (albeit on telnet/SSH, instead of dialup modem). I'm my main
user, not worried whether others join, but I'm having a lot of fun doing
it. :) And people can have a look at freeway.apana.org.au (port 23 for
telnet, 222 for SSH). I recomment using dedicated terminal programs
like SyncTerm, NetRunner or Qodem (some of these are available for
multiple OSs). The BBS sysop community has had similar discussions in
recent times on our networks. Conclusion: as long as we're having fun,
that's all that matter. :)
