Lets not make this more complex than it is (grin).  The BBS box is a
stand alone DOS 6.2 box with a standard modem and nothing else.  It's
stable that way and all attempts to set it on a LAN, destabilize it just
enough to cause problems after a month or so of untended operation.

The other machine, with the IP connection, is stable also as long as I
do not muck with it too much (such as adding a BBS).  I am testing BBSes
on it now and again, but havent settled on one.  If i do, I will set it
up as a point and test it open style for callers and such.  It's main
purpose though has to remain email and neopets access for the family
use.
