Hello, my name is Niels and I'm from germany.

I run a Raspberry Pi based Linux BBS based on the MBSE BBS software to which I
occasionally submit bug fixes. I've also recently renewed my interest in
microelectronics and as a result have built several 8 bit machine kits, from
several RC2014 kits up to a ZX Spectrum replica and a modular C64 replica.

One of those Z80 based RC2014 machines is also running a small, CP/M based BBS
which is called "RC-BOX BBS". It runs a custom flavour (well, actually it's a
fork now) of RBBS 4.1 for CP/M
for  which I found the C sources on the internet. I will tell more about this 
in
the appropriate board. But as you can see, bulletin board systems are
fascinating me and I love using them.

Back in the day, here in germany even local phone calls were rather expensive
and modems (if they were certified and legal) cost a lot of money (the import
ones from asia and the US cost only a fraction, but using them was a crime).

So I ended up calling only a few systems, one of them being the "NCC" - a
bulletin board that ran on a Unix machine and was located in Neuss. I remember
chatting with people there and downloading shareware tools and games like Jazz
Jackrabbit and Cmdr. Keen. Oh glorious days ...
             
                                                                              

    Greetings, Niels Haedecke
