Those were the days. I wrote my own BBS for Atari ST in 1988 (which was never released to the public) - and I started writing a mailer as well. Today noone is using those things anymore though.

However, a microcontroller would probably be good for a BBS; it can easily connect to a modem. ;)

Come the next Carrington event, and we'll be running fidonet over mesh packet switching until everything is rebuilt ;)
