It's only slightly related, but I had this thought about setting up a wireless alternative to old BBS systems using only WiFi hotspots without an Internet connection.

I'm pretty excited about starting up my ham radio BBS soon.

That's awesome! I've been kicking around some ideas in this space, but it's just a pipe dream at this point. Alternative means of communication are interesting.

A telnet based BBS or packet radio? Please post it when complete. I was playing around last week with my C64 and some telnet BBSs; the good old days.
