Lots of folks put telnet BBSes online like this.  And, many don't have 
password restriction at all, since password complexity was not always 
considered on BBS programs back in the day. C'mon folks, don't rain on 
the parade.  As Sean notes, use a different password than your normal 
ones for Banks and such, and enjoy a trip down memory lane.
