I mean, I understand why it was back then, but        AM> today even raspberry pi can hold a lot of connections for a long time        AM> Take me to the underground.              Yep, BBSs came from a different time and place. Back in the dial-up days we       needed those limits but today they are not needed but most BBSs are built that       way.              I don't currently have a BBS online but my last one had a time limit of 1439       minutes a day per user, so there wasn't really any time limit but I had to       enter something in the configuration of that BBS.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 275 426       SEEN-BY: 229/452 616 664 981 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 153/757 261/38 396/45 280/464 229/101 426           |
