    Hello Shawn,

    07 Jan 23 11:01, you wrote to me:

    I'm running Talisman BBS under windows and it has SSH support built in
    as well. I use it because I don't have to type my password. LOL

    I normally use telnet to call the BBS on my LAN. I do a lot of work via SSH though. I installed fusefs-sshfs so I can access the BBS directory via that and in DOSbox, I just assign a drive letter to the BBS' textfiles dir so I can use TheDraw easily. Smarter, not harder. LOL

    Sounds like something I did when I ran MagickaBBS on the pi. Now have two
    or three pi 3's sitting here doing nothing as a friend of mine upgraded my computer to something somewhat powerful so it can handle everything as well
    as let me play some games.

    I'm tempted to put the BBS on a RPi 4 under FreeBSD but I'd have to
    build a separate power supply for the two SSDs I'd want to set things up
    with.

    This old Dell Optiplex 390 that is running the BBS now is doing a fine
    job, however, it is getting close to 10 years old.

    My last desktop PC was 15 years old and still ran fine. Just wasn't able
    to play the newer games anymore. I figure this one will last me another
    10 years or so.

    ... Mind... Mind... Let's see, I had one of those around here someplace.
