well.... you're probably going to need 48k and a program that runs on a 400 / 800. I ran AMIS on an 800 with 48k for a few years before switching to XLs.

Those were the days... one issue of Informática Creativa had an article on BBS's running on 8-bits, and how they had started and changed along the years... that was around 1989. I'll take another look at that article.

Not much luck... the artcle basically describes how they started a BBS with a 130XE and an XM-301 modem, apparently with 2 1050s with US Doublers, running FOREM, then progressing through a Hayes modem and an SX-212, switching to a custom FOREM/AMIS hybrid and later BBCS 2 Construction Set, and finally in the beginning of 1989 (the issue is from April) ending up with a Supra Mode 2400, a 130XE expanded to 320KB, an XF-551, a 256KB MIO and a Seagate half-height 20MB HDD running X-Press Pro. Not quite the info you were looking for, I'm afraid...
