Subj : BBSing on early WinXP era systems

Hi, all.

I am very self-aware posting a Windows XP question in the Retro Computers echo but mainline support did end over 16 years ago. OK, there was a patch that came out in 2019 but anyway...

I've been given a couple of XP era computers which very much fall into the "too old to be useful, too new to be interesting" category. Can anyone recommend some decent software for BBSing on XP? Even via serial would be fine, I'm a touch apprehensive about connecting those things to the Internet via IP.

Thanks,

BobW
