Does anyone connect to the BBSes from old computers? Currently I'm using an
Atari 130XE computer with an 80 column terminal program..

The thing is, most BBSes and therefore the online programs/doors/games on those
BBSes are geared towards ANSI and PC terminals.

What if you would like to do some modern and fun things from your older
computer too? Things like text Web browsing, accessing Gopher servers, reading
Usenet newsgroups, chatting on IRC, getting weather information, and even
playing Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy! Enter: The Public Electronic
Networked Information System! All of those features, plus local and networked
message boards, are finally at your fingertips all in one place while at your
favorite 8bit or 16bit or other non-modern terminal. You just need an 80 column
program for the best experience.
