Omega-TI Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I know more than a few of you out there have a Lantronix UDS-10 hooked up to your Classic Computer... ... so, what's your FAVORITE TELNET BBS? What kind of system is it running on? What is it's focus? What's it name, or IP#? Why do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 I like heatwavebbs.com (68.109.180.48,23) as it's the ONLY TI-99/4A related BBS on the entire planet that's accessible via Telnet. It's running on a Geneve 9640, which is basically a TI compatible, but more advanced computer on a card that resides in the TI-99/4A Peripheral Expansion Box. If you have a TI-99/4A or Geneve 9640 and a Lantronix UDS-10, you'll want to try Heatwave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Let's see... Checking my Terminus dialing menu on my Amiga 1200... I like to call BBS's that have a dialup line. So that is The Prison Board BBS *972 329 0781 telnet://rdfig.net A Missing Chromosome 717 664 3735 Heatwave BBS 602 955 4491 Hidden Reef 718 448 9402 Borderline BBS 951 652 1690 Here is my review I'm working on for the Borderline BBS that shows some screenshots if you can view in the Commodore 64 font. Really nice. http://bbsmates.com/readforum.aspx?id=16024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrownd Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I wish I knew about these things back in the 1980s. It would have totally transformed my early computer experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaufenpreis Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 If I may add one to the list, mine would be Command Board. It's the only one I could consistently play and not get tired of it if I was playing it with friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I wish I knew about these things back in the 1980s. It would have totally transformed my early computer experience. I totally know how you feel on this one. I used to kick myself because I did not get on the Unknown BBS sooner, and seemed I missed the golden years of that BBS. Which I had. But one of the members basically said "You arrive when you arrive". I hung out with them for a few years on the BBS, it closed down, but I still have a lot of friends from that place. So that is my advice to you. You missed the golden years? Well, stop missing it and get to know what is out there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianoid Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Semi OT: Can I make classic computer modem calls using a VOIP line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evener Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Bump and a cross-post! I made a thread on the Commodore 8-bit forum, and wanted to raise it here as well: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/249971-calling-all-commodore-dial-up-modem-users-bbs/ I have heard that your mileage will vary when using a modem on a VOIP line -- I gather it depends on how they built the "back end" (I read it somewhere - I think on a BBS!)

Zap! Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The 718 (NYC) scene was amazing from 1993-1996. Amazing isn't even the word. They were my best years ever. Who remembers Knight's Realm, The Missing Link, Paris, The Sports Pages, Great American BBS, Island Pub, and countless others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
