Okay I will plan accordingly.

On another note, the old wildcat server used to give ip addresses and the user
could surf the web with that modem connection. That's how I got my internet
during college (I was REALLY poor).

I understand that dial-up internet speeds no longer suffice for surfing the
web. Many middle-america rural citizens still utilize dial-up services due to
the lack of broadband services.

On a somewhat-related note, I was considering porting the lynx text-based
browser as a bbs application that could provide those with low bandwidth the
ability to access web content through 
the board. Has anyone explored this concept? Yes, I understand that this is
nothing like the old wildcat server, it's a different beast.

I ask this because I often use lynx at home for no other reason that I like
its speed and low memory footprint. And I thought it would be really cool to
expand a bbs in this way. Even if the
feature never becomes popular, I think it would be worth attempting.

Is this even possible?
