I'm pretty new, not even sure how to connect to a service. Can I just use any
one or?

Yeah from my reading, best I can expect is 9600 BPS, anything more, there
will be data errors

I wouldn't use Fidonet or any other network with the dial-up, it would be for
users only. I have quite a few Amiga users who have modems, they use my web
portal to telnet to this BBS, figured it would be a cool option to have a
dial-in line too
