MMD> BS> all BBS software has POTS support.

MMD>That is one of the reasons I left Synchronet and returned to Max. that
MMD>use of shims under Linux gave me problems. I mean really, a agetty to a
MMD>telnet connection is a real touchy thing. Never mind how Bob Swindell
MMD>felt that maintaining a old school bbs interface was too old. We are
MMD>talking about this same topic on the 2012forum.com. Rob Bast wants to
MMD>consider upgrading from PhpBB to Vbulletin. No one wants to do that as
MMD>people like the older ways of doing things. No one wanted the Adobe
MMD>Shockwave flash. We want to be able to communicate.

I also think it's a bad solution..

MMD>dialup and telnet.

Amazing that my POTS implementation works.. I just tested it once or so..
