Title: Anyone got a Telnet BBS for DOS?
Post by: zabitsu13 on April 01, 2015, 09:44:52 pm
Hey people :P,
I was wondering if anyone has a Telnet BBS that I can connect to using Telemate on DOSBox. Would be kinda cool to explore the Web of the past XD.
Thanks!

Nope bro. Feel like reliving the past? I do miss those days. There's a pretty good documentary on YouTube called BBS: The Documentary.

Nah, never really used a BBS until recently. I got DOSBox on my PC and got some Telnet software installed. I belive the BBS was called Starbase21 or something like that,but it gets kinda boring after a while. Trying to find a better one to hang out on :P Also ill be sure to look at that documentary. Sounds interesting.
