Just send me the IP and tell me when I to call! There's a few boards running on retro hardware and scanning for new messages takes forever so I know there's definitely a point when the hardware can't keep up but I'd love to walk that line. We're you the original owner of that 486 and kept it this whole time or did you inherit it after the fact? Either way I'd love to hear the story behind that machine! --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Linux/64) * Origin: The Bottomless Abyss BBS * bbs.bottomlessabyss.net (21:1/172) .
