   You should do it if you can. I went through a similar situation regarding my    
   Commodore 64 around the same time. Eventually I was able to put together    
   another Commodore system with a serial to ethernet adapter and I've had a    
   lot of fun using it for email, BBS-ing, web surfing and downloading software.

   Sounds like a nice setup. What was the name of your BBS? What software were you   
   running?
