Doesn't CNet support telnet? Then only one connection is needed for multiple users?

Yes, CNet 5 does, and if memory serves, 4 does as well.

You just load up as many nodes as you want, or have memory for.

I had telnet working with my CNet/3 bbs also.  All you needed was a TCP/IP stack and telser.device.  Although, at the time I only had dial-up so it wasn't really usefull for anything except checking the board from work.

I heard there are serial device drivers that trick a BBS into thinking its hooked to modems when in reality its telnet connections via TCP/IP?! I want to put my BBS back up via the internet.

Read the post above yours (from me).  telser.device available on Aminet will do it.

I'd say that 2.0 is the minimum.  I ran 2.0, then 3.1 when it was available.  For an ethernet card, your choices are slim.  The best (only) one available for Zorro II is the X-Surf 2 but it's pricey.  I still use an A2065 that is probably 10 years old now, but it works just fine.  Check ebay and you can probably find one.
