40-character width ASCII BBSs? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- catsynth · 2023-11-03 06:01 Hi All! I am looking for BBSs to telnet to from my TRS 80 Model 100. So they need to support 40-character width and ASCII only. I have a few Atari 8-bit and of course Level 29, but curious of some folks here have favorites. thanks in advance ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rlauzon · 2023-11-03 10:12 Level 29 is the only one that I know. BBSing on the Model 100 is not a fun experience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jwse30 · 2023-11-03 12:13 I feel the Model 100 is perfect for bbs’s. Apparently I read at about 300 baud, so the screen just moves the text as I’m reading it. Thekeep.net is probably the bbs I frequent the most. It has 40 column as an option, and even has a model 100 download section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dcpanthersfan · 2023-11-03 13:30 tfcbbs.com runs on Color 64 (port 6464) and Supra 128 (port 6400) both of which support 40 columns ASCII. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SqualorTrawler · 2023-11-03 16:32 [CBBS Outpost](http://cbbsoutpost.servebbs.com/) has a bunch of Commodore (40 char) systems which may have the option to run ASCII when you log in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Android8675 · 2023-11-03 17:04 I remember The Keep in Santa Cruz, same one? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BBS-Geek71 · 2023-11-03 17:06 For a good Atari BBS try: Fore MXE at foremxebbs.ddns.net:9999 Really good Atari BBS and I recommend using Icy Term 0.6.8 to use the ANTIC Screen Mode and ATASCII for the true color/feel. It is available for the Mac OS X and PC and I believe also LINUX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- catsynth · 2023-11-03 17:36 >Thekeep.ne Thanks. [Thekeep.net](https://Thekeep.net) looks great. Just need to figure out how to make it use 40 character width option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AtariBBS · 2023-11-04 03:32 Amis XE is atari 40 or 80 column ascii and 40 column atascii amis86.ddns.net port 9000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dialsoft · 2023-11-04 17:52 You can try my chat dos based one. telnet to sts,[junglebbs.com](https://junglebbs.com).
