[Blindapple] Apple BBS

[Tony Baechler]

Hi.  I might have spoken a bit too soon on this.  It would be not a BBS 
related to the Apple but an actual BBS running under A2.  That means there 
would be only two floppy drives and it would be entirely emulated.  I 
haven't figured out logistics of this yet, but security is a major concern 
of mine.  I was thinking of setting up a dummy Synchronet system and 
setting up the A2 BBS as a door but I am rethinking that.  Maybe I would 
just set up a dummy shell account and set a2 as the shell.  I don't 
know.  The main thing is that people could shell to Linux from within the 
emulator and there is the security risk.  I might play with it just to see 
if it could be done though.  I have another emulator which runs under 
DOSemu so maybe I would do it that way.  That actually emulates an IIe and 
doesn't allow shelling to DOS I don't think.  We'll see what kind of 
interest there is.  I also need to make sure the BBS software will work in 
local mode without serial ports since it would be telnet only.
