    Well I don’t have the hardware to run a bbs. I’m not fooling around in   
   windows again and the last time I had a board. I got thrashed by other sysops   
   for asking questions. It was heavily modified too.    
   You can say well use Linux and buy a cheap pc. I could do that, but to me   
   it’s not worth the trouble and flak I took for asking questions.    
   To answer your question though, basic curiosity and it fascinates me. Too bad   
   the internet ruined/killed the BBs scene. The internet did some good things for   
   bbsing, but it also killed it at the same time.
