以下是在美國的 Shawn Chang 大德所寄來的信件，
關於在美國設立一中文 BBS ，並與台灣的 tw.bbs
連線，借以集合每每從美國遠程 telnet 回台灣的
華人，節省他們 telnet 的時間並且弘揚佛法，
使得美國亦有一中文佛教 BBS 中心。

目前的計畫，是在機器及 ip address 等 OK 後，
請 kftseng 學長以台大佛學研究中心正在籌畫的
 BBS 為底稿，稍加修改，即可直接在美國開張，
屆時提供眾多從美國慢慢 telnet 回台灣的華人
一個便捷、省時，獲得母國資訊的管道。

如果值得的話，可能還會再加上 MODEM Dial-Up 線，
讓使用者能直接撥上。（不過這樣子就要花經費了。）

一切皆還在籌畫中，以上所述僅為可能的草稿而已，
若各位大德有相關的專長，歡迎告知您的建議，謝謝!

Dave,

I've discussed with 慧開法師(來自佛光山, currently pursuing PhD in
religion in Temple University, PA), 果稠師 (紐約東初禪寺), Mike Chen
(CLC Research, this company set up web page for Hsi Lai
Temple西來寺, their URL is http://www.clcr.com/hsilai/), and
覺凡法師 (Hsi Lai Temple). They all received a long mail which I put
together all e-mails relating to this issue. So they know very
well the progress of this issue.

They are all very supportive. What 覺凡法師 (Hsi Lai Temple) needs
at this point is a more detail description for proposal. Like how
many phone lines? Exactly what kind of work or activities will be
involved? etc. If you could, provide me some detail. So they know
better what to expect and what to do from here.

I'll relay your e-mails relating to this issue to them. And keep you
inform on our progress here. And in the mean time, don't give up on
your side. Buddhism community used to be an invisible group in US.
They are out there but unless you do some digging, it won't be easy to
find them. I hope through the help of either BBS or internet, we can
get them out of their shell and get some fresh air  :-)

By the way, it's pretty easy in US to get online service.
CompuServe, American Online, Prodigy, etc. Mostly just pay for about
$10, you get 5 hours access to their online service, including
internet access. As to internet service provider, like the one I
signed on, give you longer time (15 hours/month) for same price.
They are either 14,400 or 28,800 speed. From that point of view I
prefer very much two-way internet (e-mail) rather than one-way BBS.
However, if BBS can cover those who have no access to internet or
e-mail, I certainly like to see Buddhism BBS established.

Best Regards,


Shawn
