I have done this.. I have an experiemental BBS system running here in Australia
that does all of what you mentioned above..

I am finding it hard thought to continue the project due to lack of support..
Unfortunately it seems that most sysops (Especially over here) are more
interested in how they can get it for nothing, than actually supporting it..

(You would be amazed at the number of Beta tester offers I got..
none of them wanted to pay anything of course!)

Anyway.. If there is *ANY* real systems out there who would like to get
working a BBS system that supports Full Graphics, with Mouse, Icons
Bit-Maps etc etc.. Which is VERY fast even at low-speed (2400).
(Ive had a lot of people comment that it sure beats ANSI_)

Then gimme a yell, and we will see what I can do...

If I can make it worth while enough, I may be able to put my Full Time
towards it, and really have a good system going..
