 Al> hello! i am new to BBSs and i was wondering how many of you use an old

When I was starting to get back into BBSing about a decade ago, I would use my Tandy CoCo3 connected to a wifi232 device I built from a cheap ESP8266 board. I don't use it as often as I used to, since it's lacking in terms of both speed and modern terminal enhancements, but it's still fun for a quick gas from time to time.
