  • Hardware requirements Synchronet

    From Arcados@VERT to All on Mon Mar 9 14:52:14 2015
    Hello to all,

    I was running synchronet many, many years ago. The connection was made by dial up modems and later ISDN.

    Now Im thinking to run a BBS again. What about the hardware requirements of Synchronet? Will it be possible to run it on a notebook with win 7 and have access via telnet AND one dial up modem?

    It would be great if anyone can send me an answer.
    Thank you

    Yes, any modern computer can handle many simultaneous Telnet and Dial-up connections, no problem.

    Well, that should be fine. Synchronet honestly does not require a whole lot to run it. You could probably still run it on a 486, if you had to. :)
