I had it installed in the         AT> basement and I turned one        AT> of the back rooms into a BBS office. I had a sweet         AT> desk, a cool black plastic        AT> phone from Radio Shack (with white buttons and black numerals).              I was looking at getting a POTS line for the BBS here and CenturyLink, the       only game in town (so much for busting up Ma Bell, right?), wants $50 a month       for a barebones basic POTS line. I remember the $10 a month second lines. If       I did get a POTS line, I might add "distinctive ring" and just use that line       for voice and BBS.              Later,       Sean              --- Maximus/2 3.01        * Origin: Outpost BBS * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10123 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 424 426 428 452 664 981 1016 1017 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 307 317 400 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
