I miss BBS's!!!

[Lurch]

Still plenty around, get yourself a copy of synchterm or Mtelnet and then look around for telnet BBS's

Mine is still running, although I dont do much with it now. http://telnet://www.taf.org.nz or you can try http://www.taf.org.nz and use the flashterm although it's kinda buggy and sometimes doesnt work

LOL Exactly the same, sure you dont get the wonderful modem connect noise other than that in full screen it's just as like the old days. Instead of putting a phone number you are putting a telnet address or IP ;P My BBS has been running off and on since the mid 90's so have been there since the beginning (Well Auckland Scene anyway).

Was at the point were I could tell what connect speed was by the noise of the modem.. sad I know Ahh 2400 baud was when I first started, think I got to 28k towards the end before I disconnected the dialup.

Good to know there are afew NZ boards about Miss the BBS scene, just today was in the CBD Wendy's, havent been there for years. Use to have BBS gatherings there back in the day.. Knoddy's house/The Bath Tub... Wolf 359.. TAF on the odd occasion.

Have an old 56k internal modem somewhere can add another line for $7 through VOIP, but not sure if anyone would call it.

Telnet has another great advantage no toll calls
