BBS....

For those interested, I'm currently running a BBS called Age of Reason on an Enhanced Apple IIe.

The BBS is running GBBS Pro and features the adventure game Land of Spur. The version of LoS I'm running is the same (literally) as the one run on the Tacoma, WA BBS, Dura Europos.

It's telnet only though - telnet://aor.retroarchive.org

Awesome! Unfortunately I exceeded my time limit, so I don't know if my lengthy post made it.

Hi,

This is working fine for me. I connected using a Newton MP2100 and 3-Com ethernet card without any problems.

Smashing :)

Cheers.

Andy.

Oooh, I'm going to have to try this one out. BTW, are you hosting this yourself? If you don't mind me asking, how did you get everything working? I'd love to host a retro BBS, but my main trouble is finding a way to host the thing.

Arfink, I'm hosting it myself. I'm running a tweaked version of tcpser (to fix a telnet negotiation bug) on Windows Server 2003.

DoctorClu, the system will be on-line until the hardware dies. Even then, I've got a replacement Enhanced IIe in the wings just in case. :)

Woot! I am in fact connected, through another BBS, with my Canon Cat. Power Station BBS provides a handy telnet service I've been using to connect to other BBSen.
