Hey Andrew!

 AA> Someone asked about running Synchronet BBS in a docker container.

I was thinking more along the line of a standard ansi-type bbs except in my case it would serve up the 'linux' terminal which in my case also happens to have framebuffer graphics available to it.  That way it potentially could serve up pdf and the such.  I think a stock ttylinux could easily handle something like this although I'd have to work out the graphical output ... also utf-8 will require a bit of jiggery-pokery.

Life is good,
Maurice
