[Coco] ESP8266 BBS setup

[David Ladd]

Bill,

That would be a very cool idea.  If we have enough people that would be
using it enough, how hard would it be to add more serial ports and
ESP8266's to open up more lines so to speak? :D

My local computer club that I am a member of use to run RiBBS for many many
years and I have a lot of good memories from back then.  Also enjoyed
playing RISK on it as well. :D
