I agree with the others that you should just leave it as it is.


I been wondering something for a while; Does CNET or AmiExpress or any other Amiga BBS package support networked Amiga's for a multinode BBS?


I have had this crazy idea for a while to have like a 8 node BBS consisting of a bunch of networked Amigas.

I was thinking like a rack full of A600's, each with a 3Com PCMCIA card representing 1 node of the BBS. Perhaps 1 master machine to control most of the BBS functions, then 1 machine each separately controlling the nodes.

I could perhaps have like 6 Telnet nodes and 2 dial up nodes. Dial up would be courtesy of some external modems plugged into a telephone line ran from a couple MagicJack units hooked to a PC.

I think the A600 would be a suitable choice for something like this. Small footprint, PCMCIA slot for network. IDE connector for a CF hard drive. Perhaps pop in a fast ram board in each one to turbo charge them.


Largest pure Amiga hardware BBS on the Planet!

I would call it "16 Bits of DOOM!"
