-A BBS with a key can link from anywhere and doesn't have to ask you first. Its door sends the key as the rlogin **server user name**, and its players' accounts are their names with the BBS's tag added (''Bob@SHS''). A Bob on one BBS and a Bob on another are two players. The tag shows in who's on and the accounts list; in the game each player picks a character name as usual, and the game won't let two characters have the same name.+A BBS with a key can link from anywhere and doesn't have to ask you first.
