I've got quite a few. 

There has been discussion of using one of several devices that have
built-in TCP/IP, ethernet, and serial to do a modernized version of a
BBS.  The Siteplayer Telnet is one such device that comes to my mind. 
On the serial end I believe it accepts AT commands like an old fashioned
modem, and it does Telnet in or out.  I know that there is at least one
other similar device that has been discussed on the list.  I think the
Siteplayer Telnet is about $99 in its fully assembled form, but you can
get an OEM module for something like $39.  I've been thinking that would
be really fun for the CoCo or the MM/1.
