Not impressed! He's using all kinds of modern hardware and telephony
tricks. The VCFed BBS, under development, will be a REAL dial-in
service. There will be telnet access too, but no microcontrollers or
modern translation adapters or anything of the sort. Just a bare-metal
MS-DOS server, MajorBBS software, an analog PBX with GSM antenna, and
Internet access.
