See you on the boards! Bulletin Board Systems I frequent (via telnet): Many of these approaches are shown in my demonstration video, below.īelow is a collection of (hopefully) helpful links for he or she who has a mind to dip a toe in and see what the current BBS scene is all about. An Uthernet card in my Apple IIgs lets me get online with the Marinetti TCP/IP suite for GS/OS while the TIPI device and associated software let’s me BBS from my TI-99/4A over WiFi. As well, the robust and freely available mTCP TCP/IP package for MS-DOS lets me use my Ethernet-equipped, 486-class DOS PC to login to my regulars. With the AmiTCP TCP/IP stack and the proper device drivers, the A2000 is one of my most capable BBSing machines. I use this approach with my Amiga 2000, to which I’ve added an X-Surf Ethernet interface card.

I go into detail about my experiences with one such device, the WiFi232, in a post entitled The Wonderful WiFi232: BBSing Has (Literally) Never Been Easier.Īnother approach is to take advantage of Ethernet networking hardware that may be available for a given system of olde. Your vintage computer thinks it’s dialing out across a phone line and connecting, just as it may have actually done, decades earlier. One of the simplest and most versatile is the use of a “WiFi modem.” This is a device that typically connects to a computer’s serial port (most vintage computers have at least one) and a local WiFi hotspot and bridges the one to the other by way of emulating (and extending) the standard command set of the modems of olde. There are a variety of approaches one can use to get a vintage system online and connected, depending on its capabilities. Those who want a more vintage terminal feel, evoking the smell of university labs from the ’70s, may enjoy Cool Retro Term (free, macOS, Windows, Linux) or Cathode ( macOS, iOS) for their online sessions. It’s a free download and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

A particularly versatile telnet client program that supports a variety of terminal emulation protocols of olde ( PC ANSI, Commodore PETSCII, Atari ATASCII, etc.) is SyncTERM. The easiest way to visit an online BBS today - something you could do right now - is to simply use a modern system running a telnet client to get connected. (Well, there were also the long distance BBSes, which I called more than I should have, bringing upon me parental wrath when the phone bill came in the mail…) Actually, some systems today still support this approach, such as the Level 29 BBS listed later on this page. Way back when, we didn’t have the internet, and getting online meant using a modem connected to the telephone line and your computer’s serial port to dial out to local BBSes.

I have a room full of vintage computer systems and one of the most enjoyable ways I’ve found to spend time with them is to use them to visit online Bulletin Board Systems, much as I used to when these were the modern machines of my past.
