Exactly my thought. I have a rack with servers in it right now at
home and I still pay to host my BBS in a datacenter. As much as I
could for sure host it at home with no real issues. I run many other
things at home. Just not my BBS. However for nostalgia I may run a
system to receive a dial up connection for my BBS eventually.
I was thinking of having something similar, over the past 4 days I've
had problems with my internet connection, will be fine for 10-20
minutes, then lose connection for a few seconds, and then it's up
again. Would suck for a BBS user to be playing a game and then get disconnected. I'd rather them have a solid experience, the few I get
anyway.
The problem with a landline is that they're expensive these days and
you cannot get copper as it is. I've heard VOIP has its problems. I
tried to use a fax over VOIP once and it failed pretty bad.
I'd be interested in hearing how others have used tech other than
copper to provide dailup to their BBS.
