Not so long ago I remember a BBS that had headlines modules (CNN and
Fox News) and a weather module or two (maybe solar weather or moon
phase) as part of the logon bulletins. Does this sound familiar to
anyone? That was fun but I can't seem to find it!

Absinthe has boingboing headlines, if you ask over there the author
can probably tell you how to set it up.

I added local weather to my Atari 8 bit BBS
(basementbbs.ddns.net:9000) last year by creating a module/door that
regularly telnets into rainmaker.wunderground.com. The following link
provides some information too:
