The Crazy Terminal BBS ran on a C=64 via Telnet

[Sheldon Sims]

If you miss the old days of computing before the Internet, check out The Crazy Terminal BBS. I am running two different versions, one on the Commodore 64, and one on the IBM. Both versions are reachable via telnet.

 

For the C=64 version, telnet to crazyter.synchro.net on port 46.

 

For the IBM version, telnet to crazyter.synchro.net on port 23.

 

For a good C=64 color graphics terminal, and for information on how to hook your old 8-bit computer up to the Net, go to www.petscii.com!

 

For the latest version of HyperTerminal (Private Edition) for Windows, go to www.hilgraeve.com!

Thanks Sheldon. The Internet is great, but I miss the BBS scene of the 80's.

Thanks Sheldon. The Internet is great, but I miss the BBS scene of the 80's.

 

You're welcome, TwiliteZoner. I am having fun running the BBS's again. I missed the BBS scene myself.

I have been modifying the web page for my BBS at:

 

http://crazyter.synchro.net

 

You can now download Hyper Terminal Private Edition for viewing the IBM BBS, or CG Terminal for viewing the Commodore 64 BBS.

 

I also have some pictures from the Commodore 64 Crazy Terminal, so you can get a sense of what it looks like before logging on.

The Crazy Terminal BBS and web page are back up, but at a different web address this time. I am now running Image BBS 1.2a inside of the WinVICE emulator on my PC. To reach the BBS telnet to crazytermbbs.dyndns.org, port 6400. For best results, use a C/G (PETSCII) capable terminal program like CGTerm. You can download CGTerm from my web page at http://crazytermbbs.dyndns.org
