[Coco] internet access

Well, this isn't the "real" thing, but what about creating a website 
that is strictly text based, something like the old Delphi system, or an 
old BBS? The site could be set up for free e-mail accounts, or e-mail 
could be forwarded to an e-mail address at the site, and the site strips 
it down to plain text before allowing it to be viewed. That's not 
exactly the same as reading regular e-mail from the CoCo, but the site 
would act as a pre-processor to make the e-mail CoCo friendly. Then a 
program to access it could be written for the CoCo, or have it so that a 
standard CoCo terminal program can access it.
