That's something we may or may not do. While I have read about it,
generally one of the advantages of telneting into a BBS is to take
advantage of the higher speeds. Plus I actually think there may be a
setting buried in the BBS configuration that can limit the data rate over
telnet. I've never actually played with "slowing down" a telnet connection
in MajorBBS that way.  But it's got hundreds if not a couple thousand
various configuration options for just about every aspect of the BBS.

Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot.
Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do.
Normal Person: So you go surfing?
Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a
lot...
Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level.
Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
