If you were happy enough to revert to DOS, there are some programs floating
around on www.simtel.net in their msdos library that might help. Do a search on
BBS and you'll trawl many fish. If you just want a single line dial-in then the
tools are already there. As someone else has written, the costs go up when you
want to do multiline stuff. Euphoria would probably cope ok with most aspects if
you wanted to use it from go to woe, but it might be better to use what's
already been invented, like Colossus, or WildCat.

Let me know how you get on. BTW, despite the impact of the internet (which is
considerable!) BBSes are not dead.
