Welcome back to BBSing.  Hope you find it as enjoyable as you did back
then.  The first machine I called a BBS on was a 8088 XT clone with a 2400
baud modem that was usually more reliable at 1200.  That was also the 
first
machine I ever hosted a BBS on.  I still have that BBS online, but it is 
no
longer on the XT.

Before that, I had (still do) a TI 99 4A.  It never had a modem.  :)

So far I have found it very enjoyable.   I'm honestly still so shocked, 
and excited, at how many still are online!  It really helps justify the 
cost of the WiModem232 for the Mac.   Other than using it for BBSing, I 
set up a PPP server on my Raspberry Pi that the WiModem232 can dial up to, 
to give the Mac a true Internet connection, but really, the BBSing part is 
more fun.  :)
