Re: A modern BBS
开云体育
Rather than trying to accommodate HTML and a browser.? It might be worthwhile to pursue telnet which is sort of TTY over TCP/IP.? The only hardware interface you need is the kind of ethernet card you use with an Arduino and the code is not that hard(see below).?
I have thought about a BBS for the 1802 but never found software that seemed workable - probably much easier to find something for the Z80.
I did a bunch of telnet tries on both the 1802 and Z80 with the code mostly in C. The first link is simplest code.? The second link is to a server running a simple game on a Z80 MC over both telnet and browser.

I think Leif even runs an internet BBS from his home.? He's a good guy, local to me, we used to see each other at the monthly TPUG meetings before covid.

This is exciting news! There are lots of CP/M C compilers (BDS-C, ? ? Small-C). I had assumed that a CP/M browser for the Z80 was a ? ? near-impossibility.
