One of my favorite BBS’ that I ran was a C-NET BBS on the Commodore
64.  I loved the console and the customizability of the BBS..  Mostly
because it was largely written in Basic.

Was/is there a BBS for the PC that is similar in terms of the console
display and customizability?

There are a couple of BBSes out there.

* Enigma 1/2 BBS Software (  [https://nuskooler.github.io/enigma-
bbs/](https://nuskooler.github.io/enigma-bbs/)  )
* Synchronet (  [https://www.synchro.net/](https://www.synchro.net/)
)
* Mystic BBS Software (
[http://www.mysticbbs.com/](http://www.mysticbbs.com/) )
* Legacy/X (in  dev)

Thank you.  It's nice to take a trip down memory lane.

Legacy/x alpha sites are up, give me a dm if you want the url. Don't
want to be spamming anything.

K-Guide bought the oritional C-Net stuff a while ago and currently
runs Future World ][ on C-Net still.   I think he's planning on
releasing a newer/updated version of the C64 version as well.

Might be a good place to ask.

I'm pretty sure now a days both the Amiga and the C64 versions are
tested/developed/run in emulators.

It will. New C64 Version was released a couple days ago. IIRC from
sysop joinlink chat, K-Guide said he was working on full install
instructions that included the emulator and all. Log into FW2 BBS.
Announcement and more is there.

Oh my..  I've connected and sent a message.   I'm giddy with
excitement, almost like when I got a 2400 Baud modem for Christmas one
year. :)
