So i have a raspberry pi (marketed as a KANO computer for education), a 9 pin serial interface, and a US robotics modem. I'm not really a Linux expert, but i do know it's generally a nightmare to get working properly, especially on "funky" hardware like this, and setting up a BBS will add to the funkyness. My raspberry pi i BELIEVE Is the original one, says "Raspberry Pi, (c)2011.12" on it. I heard of one other BBS running on a raspberry pi before but i believe it is no longer active. If anyone has tips i would greatly appreciate it. It would be great if all the tricky work has been done by somebody else already so i just have to install everything. Linux kind of scares me but i really want to have my own BBS and this is the perfect hardware to leave running 24/7!
This sounds really cool... My school has some extra modesms, I think I'll give this a try!

I went out and grabbed a Raspberry pi 3 after I made that post. And I promptly installed Retro-pi on it, and it's hooked up to my 65" TV in the living room. I use it to play SmashTV, and various other retro games that I loved as a kid.

LOVE Smash TV :D
Synchronet is nice however I've been experimenting with Enigma ..(Nothing set up really) I was running a Magicka board. Mostly as a personal LUA playground.
I've been looking at some of the dos legacy systems . . Spitfire would be fun although ive never called a spitfire system
