You could also use a Raspberry Pi computer and run a BBS on it.

and Mystic have versions that are stable, and I'm sure there are
others.

This is one of the reasons that make me a fan of the SoC computers like Raspberry Pi and ODROID, and all the rest of the Pi family of
computers. The power consumption is so low, and the level of heat is
so much less than conventional desktops, or even laptop PCs.
MBSE will run under Raspberian nicely. I didn't go with it since I
run DOS doors, but from what I understand, there is a good working
DOS emulator for Rasperian now.

My wallet thanks you too. *snicker*

I'm just gonna link to the door servers. If they go down I'll play
with dos emulators then or I'll just not bother. ;) I only have one
regular user of a couple doors anyway.
There's a version of NAS4Free for the RPi. Oh, now you've got me thinking...I have four external hard drives that need to be connected
to the network. Might look at the RPi 3 for that.
Thanks for the idea. :)

If you're running Synchronet, I've got a bit of Javascript that basically SL>replaces your door menu with a menu choice to connect to either DoorParty or SL>BBSlink (it also requires an NT batch file to keep the SSH connection to SL>DoorParty open).

We're working on actually getting the two game server merged so that basically anyone on DoorParty can play BBBSlink doors and vice versa.

If I was going to deal with RAID, I'd set up a SAN, not a NAS device.
The only thing that is backed up is my BBS machine and it usesrdiff-backup to
a local external USB device and backed up to an offsite storage area viaFTP.
I have hot, warm, and cold backups for the BBS. The rest I'm not worried about.
Why? Just because I can. :)
