Yesterday, after trying to download a file from
[archives.thebbs.org](https://archives.thebbs.org) and then realizing
their files all seem to be gone, I was doing a search and found that
this BBS (in Germany) seems to have the file available (according to
their file list):

[http://elektron-bbs.de/hauptmenu.htm](http://elektron-
bbs.de/hauptmenu.htm)

However, it seems that most of their files are only available via
dialup.  I don't have a modem (or even a standard phone line) right
now; also, his BBS is in Germany, so it would be a long-distance call
for me as well.

Some of his files are available to download on that web site, but most
of them are not.  And it looks like it has FTP access, but it requires
a password for anonymous and I don't know what password it needs.

Does anyone know about this Elektron BBS site?

instead of asking reddit?

I didn't downvote you. Why assume it was me?

He has a ton of port open, no answer on telnet or ssh though.
