I would love to see a huge surge in bbsing in the future. I think if companies 
keep screwing with our privacy, people will look for other options. A lot of 
people aren't going to know how to use the terminal though. They want icons, 
pictures, and point and click. I have seen people run from bbsing because of 
the terminal. Wouldn't it be nice to bring back a universal terminal client 
like world group manager? It allowed major bbs users to connect to boards, 
with a gui, icons and multitasking.
