The Part-Time BBS was the longest running Atari 8 bit BBS in the 216
Cleveland Ohio area code. My step dad ran it from 1985 to early 2000.

The software is BBS Express Pro! version 2.1a. It's also one of the
first BBS Express Pro! nodes, node x7!

On December 23, 2017, Part-Time returned online via telnet. The
version that you can now telnet to was pieced together with backup
floppy disks from 1990.

The BBS includes restored messages/message bases from 1988 through
1990, some restored file sections, and online games.

To connect, telnet to ptbbs.ddns.net port: 8000.

I guess new accounts don't automatically have access to the games
section?
