   It's hard, but getting easier.  The bad thing about TBBS is that it   
   needs to be run on a dedicated DOS box and to connect it to the internet   
   you either need an IPAD or a Windows machine running TIAD.  So right   
   away you've got at least two machines with one dedicated entirely to the   
   BBS.   
      
   On the flip side if you dedicate both boxen to your BBS you can process   
   mail full-time, run non-TBBS door games, and do a few cool web tricks.   
      
   All in all it's not really a system for the faint of heart, but then   
   again it wasn't back in the 90's either. :)
