It's hard, but getting easier.  The bad thing about TBBS is that it 
needs to be run on a dedicated DOS box and to connect it to the internet 
you either need an IPAD or a Windows machine running TIAD.  So right 
away you've got at least two machines with one dedicated entirely to the 
BBS.

On the flip side if you dedicate both boxen to your BBS you can process 
mail full-time, run non-TBBS door games, and do a few cool web tricks.

All in all it's not really a system for the faint of heart, but then 
again it wasn't back in the 90's either. :)
