Upsides: - I could probably set up Swords of Freeport as a door game. - Doing something needlessly overblown and technologically fragile is very thematically authentic for me. - ANSI art - my modern BBS concept (I'm still tinkering with it, even though I promised to release code months ago and haven't) has a QWK mail implementation already. (This isn't really an upside, so much as an excuse to leave QWK support in the lora BBS, instead of dropping it.)

A #retrocomputing #longreads recommendation for your Sunday:
In 1992, a year before the Web opened to the public, Texas entrepreneur Don Lokke was trying to syndicate weekly political cartoons to bulletin board systems.
His "telecomics," as he called them, represent an overlooked early experiment in online comics, and a window into an interesting moment in American politics.
