I've actually found a very nice BBS package I could run.
But would people really use it?
@leo My hunch is no.
@leo thanks for making me feel old. I'd probably give it a try, but only if you could simulate 300 baud comms.
RE: a telnet BBS
@sfringer I've actually set it up already on my server, but I'm kind of reluctant to open up telnet access to the machine! It's definitely a throwback experience. Probably not worth the effort.
Part of me would still like to though ;-)
@leo I'd give it a shot, but I make no promises 😁
@leo Oh this would be so cool. Can we have some classic door games too?
@leo I never seen this one before.
Absolutely nostalgia is cool. one of the SDF.ORG dudes if I recall is running a reboot of quantum link. shit is off the hook.
@leo I like the idea of BBS's and fidonet messaging systems to bring open communications to countries that have blocked and censored the larger Web. (Russia, North Korea, Iran, China, etc)
@leo I have been considering setting up a Synchronet BBS, as it seems to have more current updates and plenty of boards seem to be using this. I love that Fidonet and Dovenet are still active on those boards. http://www.synchro.net/
@leo I Ran a BBS back in early 90s - Remote Access with FrontDoor. The sound of the modem training randomly when a user was connecting is something I'll never foget. #nostalgia
@leo Heck yes! Especially if I can connect from my vintage comps!
