But itwas on the verge of ending up completely in the trash. This is the story of how Hamburg-based Sascha P not only saved all the hardware and software of the BBS, but also hacked his way into the setup and actually managed to bring everything back online - and became a dial-up BBS sysop in 2023. Plus a spin-off about the almost equally old Commodore-64 BBS Snobsoft and its literallywild connection to the Tornado Mailbox - the name TECS had back in the 1980s. Mailbox is the German term for a BBS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ePb39N6_BA snobsoft.de - Port:6401 - 300 Baud 7N1 The Commodore 64 BBS since 1985 Tel: 011 49 40 60943485 --- ■ Synchronet ■ PartyBowlBBS - partybowlbbs.ddns.net .
