Oh wow - I did not suspect there were BBS’s still running!
- razster 7mo agoMore and more are popping up, same for IRC channels. A lot of older gens are headed back. I love my local BBS, met a lot of interesting people.
- einr 7mo agoThere's quite a lot. Check this out: https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/ Over a thousand systems accessible over telnet (sometimes ssh too, sometimes even proper, honest actual dial-up modem)
- WalterGR 7mo agoMost landlines in the US these days are VoIP and my understanding is that modems work very poorly over VoIP. Before anyone invests in a modem - and in getting a land-line if they don’t have one - be sure to do your research. Can anyone comment on how well modems work over long-haul connections these days? Even if you have plain ol’ copper wiring to your local telephone company, it’s not gonna be copper wire the whole way.
