+DarkLord Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 well the power supply has to come out and be external 1st off 2nd the square smaller chips need heatsink and fans ! then you can remove the copper and recycle it...I am glad i dont have one of those ? Not sure what you are saying here. I have *zero* heating problems with my Mega ST4 that runs the BBS. It's not an overly exotic machine. It was a 2 meg machine originally that I had updated to 4megs, I added the 16mhz AdSpeed accelerator board, and I removed the grille from the back of the case over the fan. Its actually recommended to do that if you run them 24/7, as I do. Improves airflow through the case. Apologies if I misunderstood what you were saying in your post.

Lord Cygnus Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Steve Carden's 'Inside the 8-Bit BBS' is now officially live and rock-solid: Log on via telnet: www.realdos.net:8888 or 8889 Steve Carden's custom TCP/IP Express! and RealDos is the master control of the board. Give him a ring with your favorite terminal. Supports 40/80 column & ATASCII/ASCII/ANSI protocols up to 19.2k baud. Running on real 8-Bit hardware on 2 nodes at once! See you there! -=[Lord Cygnus]=- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Awesome, glad to see him back up. Now, if I can just remember what my account was! Oh, just to mention - with a shell under Kubuntu Linux here, I have to use "telnet www.realdos.net 8888" with no ":", or it won't connect.

w1k Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) hmm, how works telnet BBS server 1.4a ? i can connect to it.. but then..? you can try connect to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCyAN7UtDiE Edited February 5, 2013 by w1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bf2k+ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 hmm, how works telnet BBS server 1.4a ? You would run a BBS on your Atari 8-bit and the BBS Server on your PC (or whatever host you have). The callers from the internet would type the IP address of the Host PC and it would route the connection into the BBS program on the 8-bit. Is this what you were asking?

+bf2k+ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 ??? That address is a local address on your network... not an internet address so no, nobody will be able to connect to it from outside of your network. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simba7 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm quite tempted to re-open my old BBS from the 90's. It was tiny, but it worked. Also, HDD space is quite cheap, so I might rebuild and fire it back up. I'm not sure what to run now since I used WC! back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The last week or so I have been working on a vintage computer BBS list. Feel free to distribute it accordingly, and inputs are always welcome. Here is the Google docs link to the list: https://docs.google....TW81bmg2MDBhaE0 Hey Mad Hatter, is there an update to this list? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
