   Sorry to butt in - but I hope more BBSes start to offer dial-up. And more   
   users switch off their routers and dust off their modems.   
      
   With cheap second hand modems aplenty and landlines generally sitting unused,   
   I imagine for some sysops this wouldn't be such a major task/outlay. But would   
   there be the users who would call? I think there's a bit of a network effect   
   problem going on here...sysops don't feel there's people that still want to   
   use dial-up, and users don't bother with modems because so few boards offer a   
   number to call.  Or probably more realistically, very few people even care.    
      
   Personally, I'm tempted to start a new dial-up only BBS. But I suspect I will   
   get about zero callers.
