icbrkr Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 ... is back online. I took my board down back in '08 when my daughter was born and I didn't have time to mess with it.. well, she's 5 now so I have time Board is running at: particlesbbs.hopto.org port 6400 Running Cbase 3.x, online games and such, and 2GB of space (8.3 million blocks free). I'm converting all my disks over to archives and uploading them...up to about 170,000 blocks so far (takes awhile). You pretty much have to connect via a Petscii compatible term program or it'll not work right for you so.... Go grab CGTerm from here: http://www.paradroid.net/cgterm/ Or a OS X Intel compatible version here: http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50305&highlight=cgterm Or connect via your C64 (you can make a null modem cable by doing this): https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10201645675321611.1073741846.1170907465&type=1&l=2f64ad6ce7 or this... http://1200baud.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/build-your-own-c64-2400-baud-usb-device-for-less-than-15/ See ya there!

98PaceCar Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Your recompile is complaining about dyld not being loaded. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbrkr Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Your recompile is complaining about dyld not being loaded. Any suggestions? No clue... I DO know it has to be in the exact directory or it doesn't work. So it has to be extracted to the Applications\CGTerm so that there is an executable both in the CGTERM dir, and another dir underneath it. I'm not sure why the original coder did that, I just recompiled the source he had on his page. I'm definitely not a coder. Hate to say 'works on my box' but it does - I also have the X11 and other tools installed - maybe it needs them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98PaceCar Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I bet I screwed up the directory and went all lower case. I'll try it later and see. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm curious. Is this running under emulation, or on a real 64/128? I tried to get a C64 bbs on the internet about 10 years ago using a Lantronix ethernet modem emulator, but couldnt find any software (except Novaterm's host mode) that would recognize the incoming connection.

icbrkr Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 It's running on a real C64c, with JiffyDOS 6.x, a CMD HD, a 1750 with 512K of ram, some disk drives, etc, and soon a Swiftlink cart. Getting the telnet inbound is a bit tricky - I'm using Jim Brain's tcpser4j and a telbbs cable. Using just a straight nullmodem usually drops the pins that the BBS is looking for.

icbrkr Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Small update - Swiftlink is now installed so you can connect at 9600 baud. There's about 600,000 blocks or so online, with more being added as I get time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbrkr Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Just an update... We've switched to Centipede 128 BBS... which means.. More speed, faster downloads, etc. And -anyone- can connect... ANSI, ASCII, PETSCII, etc. No special terminal needed. Thousands of downloads, tons of games online, speeds up to 38,400 right now (which means quick download speeds). Check us out... http://particles.org http://www.facebook.com/particlesbbs particlesbbs.hopto.org port 6400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I tried & failed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I tried & failed... I connected no problem. Remember it's over port 6400. I didn't register because I already have accounts on like 10 BBSes already and I just can't keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbrkr Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yup, without that port, you'll get nowhere. You can now connect via the web at http://www.particles.org if you don't have a telnet client handy. Over the last few weeks, we've expanded the file section (tons of 128/Vic 20 sections), added more online games, and added some more RAM to the system to help it along.

icbrkr Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 To the top! Some updates. Particles! BBS ============== http://www.particles.org, telnet://particlesbbs.dyndns.org:6400, telnet://particlesbbs.hopto.org:6400 Been around since 1992... which is like, an eternity in computer-time. What Is It? =========== It's a BBS running Centipede on a Commodore 128D with message bases dedicated to old computer goodness. Also: [+] 1000s of files for the Commodore 64, Vic-20, 128, Plus/4, CP/M and GEOS [+] Over 90 file areas so far, still adding more [+] 60+ online games (Empire, Nuke'Em, tons more) [+] Lots of message bases Runs PETSCII, ANSI, ASCII, 40 columns, 80 columns so connect with whatever you want. Speaking of connecting, connect from the website at http://www.particles.org if you don't have a terminal. Useless Hardware Info: ====================== Running on a Commodore 128D w/640K of RAM (which is enough for anyone) Ports open at 38,400 so it flies. Ever seen an 8-bit transfer at 38.4K? Holy crap. This is done with the magic of a Swiftlink RS232 adapter. Punter, Multipunter, Ymodem, Xmodem xfers. Find one you like. 4GB CMD SCSI drive running off a Compact Flash card using a SCSI to CF adapter. Fast. For 8-bit. You can find us at Facebook also as http://www.facebook.com/particlesbbs There's also a FAQ at: http://www.particles.org/particlesbbs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
