Greetings! I just purchased the x16 on ebay. It looked to be a complete system with case and network card. I purchased the system because I hope to code an original BBS system for the x16. I'll keep ya'll updated. I live in Fort Smith AR. I've been in cybersecurity for 30 years and was a BBS sysop from the 80s-90s.

Welcome. The X16 is a fun machine and has a great community behind it. Make sure you also join the discord.

Hi welcome
people are already using the X16 to connect to a BSS, but I am not sure if it can run a BSS itself?

It was done on C64's and C128's. So it's possible.
I wouldn't expect it to handle a whole bunch of simultaneous users though.
