Well, one way or another we've been talking about it for what, five, six years now, so it'll be nice to see it actually happen; Ken's proposal certainly sounds ambitious. Didn't someone already have a Pi connected as a bridge? Gonna have to browse the archive...
I've got a few ESP8266 modules somewhere, so I'm ready! I just hope it doesn't go the way of the CP/M project... m ----- Original Message ----- From: John R.

Yes Mike you're being a party pooper :-) I kind of like the idea of putting the "server" on the attached gadget just for that reason. Battery powered Pi. Then you're self sufficient with the device and an internet connection. So the device runs telnet, w3m, mutt, pine/vim/emacs No 3rd party BBS required, necessarily. The other way to go is device + Model 100 specific telnet BBS. I like the idea of a BBS if someone wants to run it. Kurt mentioned one above. -- John.
