What I have found to be -a little bit- more "reliable" is BBS'ing
over Rogers Home Phone, you know, the phone service thats over their own
VOIP network. Since they are not routing any packets over the Internet, it
tends to be a bit better.... better as in, you can connect at 9600 baud,
lol.
 
I guess 9600 is good enough for "surfing" a BBS, browsing file
and message areas and all that, but not good enough for serious use like
door games and boards with big ansi screens and all that.
