You know they did this with Excalibur BBS which turned out to be like a mini
America Online. You can still download Excalibur as there are some
registrations available. They have even figured out how to shell out to
GameSrv to run doors like LORD and Tradewars with the Excalibur Client.
Unfortunately it does require a client. I liked WorldGroup when you could log
in with a regular telnet client or use the WorldGroup client.
