Best MS-DOS focused BBS? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- internetsux · 2019-03-31 13:48 I was wondering what everyone considered to be the best BBS around right now for MS-DOS stuff? I'm interested in downloads and discussion, I am not into door games. Looking forward to check out your suggestions! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-03-31 15:49 Most folks are into door games it seems with retro bbs's... I'm an old school phreak who would love to find a BBS with rare bbs software, or rare phreaking utils in the downloads section - but file xfers just arent the thing on bbs's these days it seems. Unfortunate. I enjoy Zmodem more than FTP. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- internetsux · 2019-03-31 16:31 I got you https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/bbs/slime-city-bbs/ My favorite so far. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aztracker1 · 2019-03-31 22:55 Are you wanting actual modem support, or telnet? If you mainly want an answer interface with a telnet server, you may prefer something more modern. Synchronet, x84, enigma and mystic are all good options. Otherwise you can wrap most traditional did bbses behind a vmodem or door/telnet server. You should either stick to a 32 bit Windows (vm works) or Linux dosemu of you intend to run any dos software. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- internetsux · 2019-03-31 23:12 I meant actual bulletin board system to visit, not bulletin board system software. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkman14 · 2019-04-01 01:09 The truth is that if you're looking for files, websites like archives.scovetta.com or cd.textfiles.com that have accumulated files over the decades probably have a lot more to offer than any one modern BBS. If you're looking for conversation, unique door games, etc, well then there's some interesting boards to be found. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- internetsux · 2019-04-01 03:34 I just really like using BBSes, I understand I can find more files on websites. But some boards do have a unique arrangement of files. Messages are also important. I’m just not into door games. Anyway nobody has yet recommended me a single board. Let me hear it, even if the files are not good. There are boards not based on door games. There’s that one dedicated to ACiD text art for example. Love that kinda stuff! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ebookit · 2019-04-01 05:10 https://www.wwivbbs.org/ http://docs.wwivbbs.org/en/latest/wwiv_bbs_list/ It is all Telnet now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheBottomlessAbyss · 2019-04-16 02:40 May I invite you to visit The Bottomless Abyss.
