Might be worth your while to have a look at www.tbbs.org - you can
download basically all but one of the software packages that eSoft
released for nix ... A developer has released a Windows package and is
looking at a Linux port allowing telnetting into all 32 lines of the
TBBS system simultaneously.. - the package is called TIAD ....If any,
it will be a walk down memory lane :-)
