The *new* Level 29 BBS, more compatible than before! reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FozzTexx · 2018-04-03 14:41 [I've re-launched Level 29 BBS](http://bbs.retrobattlestations.com) - the official BBS of /r/RetroBattlestations - with new software that I built from the ground up. This version no longer is tied to ANSI and 80 columns, it has been simplified and it will now work with most everything you can throw at it. You can set your screen size and terminal type when logging in. It's still under development so there's really only a message board at this time. But it has been tested with a VIC-20, MC-10, Apple II, Mattel Aquarius, and many other computers all the way up to modern 4K monitors. Dialup is still available at 916 965 1701, or you can connect via telnet or web at bbs.retrobattlestations.com. Don't have a retro setup but want a more "authentic" experience? Try this: stty 300 ; telnet bbs.retrobattlestations.com Be sure to login to get the complete experience. Check it out and enjoy being able to BBS from obsolete equipment! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- snoozerd · 2018-04-03 17:42 Very very cool. Like the "old days" of bbs'ing! I love it. Would be cool to run this along side my other bbs's. _- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9600bps · 2018-04-04 00:45 Just logged on via SyncTerm and it worked great. The screen editor (GNU nano with ncurses?) did not display correctly but the Line editor worked like a charm. I'm looking forward to dialing in soon when I can track down a legit line! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnaClocker · 2018-04-04 00:53 What hardware is the board running on? I’d love to get an old machine to run a board on. 8088 running RBBS. Back where I started 30 years ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FozzTexx · 2018-04-04 01:26 It's running on an old Duron running Linux. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FozzTexx · 2018-04-04 02:05 Looks like the ansi terminfo entry in Linux is not quite right. After several tries of different "ansi" terminal types I found that xterm- color works for nano. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iheartbaconsalt · 2018-04-26 06:09 Ever have, "draw your battlestation in ANSI," events? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FozzTexx · 2018-04-26 13:41 No, but that's an interesting idea.
