Sounds like the perfect system for running a BBS on. I also have a Lenovo,
it's the Tiny Form Factor. I love it!

My first BBS computer I bought when I came back online almost 3 years ago was
a older Intel Pentium system. After I transfered everything over to the Lenovo
that PC has been collecting dust. I was planning on making that into either a
OS/2 PC or a Amiga one. It has 2 modems in it. I'm planning on setting up a
dial-in number.  I have all the equipment for it.

I did install a older version of ArcaOS on that unused desktop. I'm not even
sure where I downloaded it from, but it was a old version. Even with that, it
looks pretty good.  I did have some boot issues. It would hang on occasion so
I put playing with it to the backburner.

For sure, I'll be bugging you guys very soon!

Thanks for the info!
