Hi Day,
 -=> Quoting Day Brown to All <=-
 DB> I would like to set up a fido BBS, and at the same time, 
 DB> have the system support a website. 
 DB> But, it seems the usual setup is to have the line open for 
 DB> BBS users to call *in*. Is the inet website setup with the 
 DB> line off hook to the server 24 hours?  Or could I have a 
 DB> server call me? what happens is the call is outside the 
 DB> local calling area? 
 To do this with an Internet BBS you need a 24hr. connection to your ISP
and a static ip address, then anyone can connect from the Internet.
 A caller,from the Internet, will not see any long distance charges as long
as it's not a long distance call to his ISP.
 You can check out my BBS on the Internet at: http://206.106.145.5
if you want to see what's possible. I have 2 lines, 1 full time Internet
connection, and 1 dial-up.
Good luck,
Rick
