3:< no. I like doing things the way they used to be done. Eventually I'll actually have a 486 DX2 on a phoneline for this built for dos machines.
... thing were better when they were worse? haha.
Looking forward to seeing this build :D
I like to run shit like it used to be. I don't like not having the hardware that something ran on. Its lazy to me if I don't put in the effort.

I have to ask, how does one interface with a bbs? telnet??
Couple ways. Telnet, Dial-Up, and it can be set up as a website. Theres also ways to set up a BBS to interface with some apps that connect to stuff like that but I will be setting up for over telnet.
Real BBS's used serial terminal emulation, like VT100, ANSI, or ASCII. Most of the good boards used ANSI.
Your modem connected in, and was essentially an extension for a serial cable. Then the terminal protocol determined how things like text and characters were handled.
