Um.... get a web server and install a bulletin board script. They're free.

You mean one written in qbasic? Or just for discussing qbasic?

if its a qbasic bbs it can be done
i have it in my i wanna do project list...

you can make a dialer too to call your bbs

you'll have to be real good at qbasic
find some qbasic modem routines...there are some on a qbasic site
i remember seeing them somewhere....

it wont be a fast bbs 19000 baud tops...slower then netzero/juno/aol
there are some neat "door" games you could run to
not great grafics but playable...everything would be 1 person plays
type things..there were only a few real multiplayer...

you could also make it a multiline bbs so many
phones could hook into it... 2-3 or so would be good but
you might be able to go 10 line....

QB bbs were a popular project in the early nineties. You can find that FidoNet echo archive useful.
