   Okay I will plan accordingly.   
      
   On another note, the old wildcat server used to give ip addresses and the user   
   could surf the web with that modem connection. That's how I got my internet   
   during college (I was REALLY poor).   
      
   I understand that dial-up internet speeds no longer suffice for surfing the   
   web. Many middle-america rural citizens still utilize dial-up services due to   
   the lack of broadband services.   
      
   On a somewhat-related note, I was considering porting the lynx text-based   
   browser as a bbs application that could provide those with low bandwidth the   
   ability to access web content through    
   the board. Has anyone explored this concept? Yes, I understand that this is   
   nothing like the old wildcat server, it's a different beast.   
      
   I ask this because I often use lynx at home for no other reason that I like   
   its speed and low memory footprint. And I thought it would be really cool to   
   expand a bbs in this way. Even if the   
   feature never becomes popular, I think it would be worth attempting.   
      
   Is this even possible?
