I dont think anyone has used a packet BBS in 7 or 8 years. Maybe you should
steer him into HF digital modes like PSK31 and the like, if he has the
license for it.

There are a few AMPR net BBS's still online. Search google for them. I dont
know any in Texas, but he can TELNET in from the internet and talk to
amateurs around the world and via radio.

Just a thought!

A new amateur has asked me about packet radio bbs's and I have no idea how
to respond. He is interested in knowing about the bbs system and I'm
thinking he is about 10 years too late. He is located in North Texas in the
DFW area. Anyone know of any bbs systems available in that region?
