Now I get to fix qodem to handle it correctly.. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2017-08-16 17:39 I'm with the qodem guy! Any way you planning on having a POTS line? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnPolka · 2017-08-16 20:43 Once you log on, check out the "Other BBS List" (option 'O' from the main menu). There are a few other Atari 8 bit BBSs that have ATASCII too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnPolka · 2017-08-16 20:45 No plans for a POTS line. Do you still use an old school modem? If so, which BBSs do you call? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2017-08-16 23:02 Man, I installed POTS lines two months ago in my house. There are quite a few on telnetbbsguide.com - there is one I call a lot that is only a menu of games and i'm blanking on it at the moment. I've got a 486 with a USR on it and it is a ton of fun. The Keep is a good one that has been up a long time. I'm putting one of the lines into my BBS soon... bitsunrise.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnPolka · 2017-09-25 12:48 I would be really interested to see how many users call dial-up BBSs. There are not many users on the telnet side, so I would think there would be even fewer for dial-up BBSs. As a side not, a friend of mine wants to try calling my BBS with a dial-up modem. I am planning on putting something up for him to try...maybe this could lead to something permanent...we shall see. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnPolka · 2017-09-25 12:51 I thought I'd post an update to this post. I finally got around to putting up a web page for the BBS. Although it's a simple web page, I really like the Atari 8 bit font! :) http://http://basementbbs.ddns.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eclectro · 2017-09-26 10:53 > I would be really interested to see how many users call dial-up BBSs. There's a few, almost entirely for nostalgia sake - though I can imagine other reasons that might exist. Here is an [interesting article in case you missed it.](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/11/the-lost- civilization-of-dial-up-bulletin-board-systems/506465/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ITeachAll · 2017-10-04 01:29 > basementbbs.ddns.net Ive been wanting to get back into Major Mud. Tried connecting. Doesn't seem to be working ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnPolka · 2017-10-04 03:22 Try again. Someone else may have been on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ITeachAll · 2017-10-04 16:16 Only one person at a time? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnPolka · 2017-10-04 16:29 Yeah, it's an old school BBS. :)
