   It's actually a bit harder than it may appear. If you're gonna run a BBS on   
   your C128 you need a User Port <-> RS-232-adapter, and that RS-232-adapter will   
    vary depending on which BBS package you want to use. Some packages works with   
   more generally available adapters such as the VIC-1011A, and others only work   
   with the Swiftlink adapter which is very hard to come by and when it's on sale   
   it goes for silly money.   
      
   If you just want to connect other BBS:es from your C128, almost any User Port   
   <-> RS-232-adapter will do, or one of these Wifi-modems that connect to the   
   user port and then your wifi at home and acts as a hayes-compatible modem for   
   the C128.
