Now that a newsreader has been ported to Coherent, I'm sure that the question
of running a BBS under coherent is on people's minds.  While I don't know 
of any presently available BBS that will run in 64K, thinking back to the
early days of BBSing, there were BBS's running on Apple II's with 48k and
under.  Hence, it could be done under Coherent's present kernel.

I'm wondering if anyone has done this.  Perhaps you wouldn't want a BBS
under 'nix, but rather give users accounts and let them dial up to read News.
(Personally, that's what I would prefer as that's my main use for my University
accounts...)  However, I'm uncertain to whether their would be a sufficent user
base for this.

Hence, I'm wondering what if anything anyone has done with using Coherent
to run a BBS.
