Additionally, emulation would allow people to use
Telnet to connect, and
would allow those of us with no functional landline (believe it or not,
there's now a lot of people who depend solely on broadband- delivered VoIP
and cellular exclusively) to play the home game.
I cannot remember the name now, but there is a clone of Remote Access
made for windows, that accept modems and telnet connections, seems ideal for
a bbs redoing. Also, if I'm not mistaken, FrontDoor accepts communication
via tcp/uucp.
