Very cool. Not sure if anyone is using TC2-BBS with Meshtastic, but it works great. A bit crude, but not much worse than the BBSs I used back in the 80's. I have the BBS running on a Raspberry Pi. the Pi has a LoRa hat so that I can run a Meshtastic node on that same Raspberry Pi. I also have MQTT running on the pi. I can then connect to another Meshtastic node (in this case a Lilygo T-Beam) and have an internet disconnected network for sending emails, posting bulletins, and having chat sessions. I'll do a writeup on what I did to get the BBS and Meshtastic to run on a single Raspberry Pi.
