None that I'm aware of, but I'm considering putting one up, available
via telnet. If anyone has any software recommendations (I never did
learn OS/9, but I'm not afraid to learn), they'd be greatly
appreciated... Even though I modemed with my CoCo, I didn't actually
start BBSing until about 1990 or so.

I think I'm going to use a Lantronix UDS-10 or similar
RS-232<->ethernet adapter. What seems to be a bit unique about the
Lantronix is that it's capable of emulating a Hayes-compatible modem,
so it should be about as plug-n-play as setting up a BBS on a CoCo can
be. Other adapters may have the same capability, but Lantronix seems
to be the only one that advertises it.
