   as well today as it did 20 years ago. I can login to the MBBS console of

   also able to telnet in by    
   way of a Digi PortServer.

   actually a "phone call".

   not really. I always used a bocaboard/16   
   someone just told me it has to be a non-intelligent board and the port/modem   
   addresses have to be 400 hex apart from each other.
