Dial up BBS

[bongomeno]

Are there any left that I can access on my Atari? I plan on using my ST to do this, but I also have a 16k 400 and a beat up 800xl...

A quick list of dial-up BBS systems in the US and Canada can be found at the Telnet BBS Guide. This list is updated every 60-90 days, so it is as current as possible.

yeah, I found that. Its too bad that none of them are for Atari computers.

 

I did go to Empire of the Dragon, it was pretty cool.

What I do is dial into the prison board bbs and fron the main menu select (x)internet menu,then select (a)for all of the atari bbs,it works for me,I,m using 800xl with pr:connection and 2400 supramodem.

Many BBS's that were dial-up switched over to telnet at some point as well. My only problem is the software that I remember could handle telnet on my 8-bit XL, DOES NOT work in any 8-bit Atari computer emulator... (yet.)

 

If I could host a telnet-able BBS through an Atari 8-bit computer emulator, I would.

Try 'BBS on a Stick' - bf.amfband.com - contains everything you need to run 8-bit BBS on emulator.
