Hi All,
I just install Synchronet BBS on my linux server. Since I love vintage tech, I was wondering if it's possible to configure one of the 4 bbs nodes to a serial port (instead of TCP/IP); I want to connect a local serial terminal to log on my bbs. Please dont ask why I want to do this LOL!

PS: This is my first echomail since 199x era, feels weird!

There is sexpots in /sbbs/repo/src/sexpots.

I have never used it myself so I don't know how it works but there is also a sexpots.txt in /sbbs/repo/docs so that may be useful to you.
