I've had some success running Color 64 BBS on a uIEC. I would be a little concerned about REL file integrity running 24/7. Not to mention that Color 64 BBS generally requires some means of rapid program loading so one would need 17xx RAM expansion minimally for tolerable performance. I think Color 64 BBS might a good candidate to update the communication I/O for a more modern interface. Its ML and BASIC routines are fairly simple. -Jim Mazurek
