CNet Amiga BBS software on Amiga 500?

[THEWASP]

I ran a C64 BBS with 2 phone lines and a 40 Meg LTK harddrive. Ran a lot of warez back in the day. Used Color 64 BBS by Greg Pfountz.  2400 baud modems.

Converted to the Amiga in 89 and ran Paragon/Starnet/MEBBS up until 95 when I made the mistake of going to DOS. 3 USR HST modems into the system. Moved a lot of warez thru that system too!  


Finally shut my BBS down last year. No one calls dial up anymore.


I just got an Amiga 3000. What OS will I need and where can I find an ethernet card for it?! 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.

I loved the Amiga and have been out of the loop for many years. Like about 8 years.

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

Thank you for that information! My 3000 should arrive in a week and I'll order a network card for it and see about getting my old BBS back up. What OS is needed to make the Amiga work on the internet.
