To which Commodore Clifford replies...

There is actually a dial up modem pool for some telnet BBS's.  It's
intent is to let people who only have modems (and still have a phone
line) to reach telnet BBSs....

 .... but I won't lie... I've used OOMA to dial out with a modem via the
internet to reach the DUMP only to then call my own telnet BBS.

Of course, it's fun once or twice but after that...... (shrugs)
