Hello Björn!

 MvdV>> What I expect of a BBS is that humans - also called users - can call
 MvdV>> in with a terminal program and read and/or post "bulletins".

 BF>    Terminal program? How do you define that? Does a news reader count?

 You don't need the word "program", a BBS can be accessed with a dumb
 terminal, doing the same to a newsserver could be a challenge for some.
 Using telnet to access a newsserver is not too difficult, but not very
 practical either.
