The Fone Company Color64 BBS: back after 27 years! reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-01-26 23:37 Visit us via telnet: foneco.servebbs.net (port 23) Highly suggest using a Commodore terminal such as CGTerm to get the most out of it. I managed to salvage a few of the floppies from the early 90s when I ran a Color64 BBS. I had switched over to Supra 128 but had an easier time getting Color64 online. The BBS will focus on Color 64 development and trying to get Network 64 back up and running if for nothing but a novelty. Empire, Nuke 'Em and 16 of 26 games active (more coming). In it's heyday we were cranking out new mods for Color 64 every week. Now we are back with a Lt. Kernal hard drive and ready to conquer the world at 2400 baud. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinacolada459 · 2019-01-27 00:43 Cool! Make sure to list it on [http://cbbsoutpost.servebbs.com/](http://cbbsoutpost.servebbs.com/) \- there are other Color64 sysops there, too. (Full disclosure, I'm invested in Image BBS development myself. Mine's the offline Dragon's Eye. But we have an Image BBS network going strong.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-01-27 02:46 Done! I really would like for the interest in BBSes to get back to where it was. Maybe if we could make a PETSCII iPhone/Android app? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mps · 2019-02-02 01:37 When trying to create a new account I receive 'ERROR-INI' after entering my handle and then the carrier drops. Just letting you know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-02-02 03:54 As it turns out throwing 30-year-old code up live without a thorough audit is a bad idea. It's likely the port 23 spam bots have killed the password file again. I'm working on it all weekend to get all of it fixed. Follow along with the blow by blow at color64.com. I hope Monday is a much more sane experience. After the board is stable I'm going to work on getting Network 64 working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mps · 2019-02-03 20:19 >I managed to salvage a few of the floppies from the early 90s when I ran a Color64 BBS.

I have been a sysadmin for a long time and know a few tricks to filter out bots. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2019-02-03 20:34 BBS Telnet Server for Windows. I moved the port to 6400 which has greatly helped.
