I am currently doing this on mine:  http://mystic-hobbies.us and it works well.  I would 
like to be able to copy-and-paste some things into a message, and a web interface 
would make it easier to accomplish this instead of having to use a telnet connection.

I DO use a web interface on my main site at http://hobbylinebbs.com a Wildcat system.

There, I am able to log in via a web interface to read and write messages and to upload 
or download files,  The only thing I can't do is play Door Games.  There was talk about 
creating a new wcNavigator program that would allow a quick telnet connection from the 
web to be able to play games, but I don't see that ever happening.  The developer 
hasn't even given it much thought lately.
