I just downloaded your BBS server and read the documentation. It seems
very interesting. With it I should be able to telnet (or rather "ATDT")
to a mail server or a news server from my C64/C128. Now I'm getting
really tempted to write an email and/or a news program for the C128 in
80-column mode. It's just a matter of getting the time to do it.
(Btw, I just tested to telnet to my mail and news servers from the
built-in telnet client in Win XP and sent some commands to the server to
read news messages. It worked fine.)
