Looks nice.

That's EXACTLY the way it should be visited Looks good in Topaz!

FYI - I am in Afghanistan and can't use telnet/ssh so I can't do any maintenance on the bbs. So user accounts, stuck nodes, etc, won't be fixed and updated for a week or two. Also, new address: montereybbs.com

Indeed. I havent't figured out yet how to have it in colour though. And I'm not sure what screen height to choose. I picked 40 characters, but I have problems in some menus. Maybe I'll try a different terminal program.

Wow, it has been so long ago but I still get that feeling of - hey I gotta hang up soon, otherwise the phone bill will explode.

Haha, yeah...I think the best settings are 80x24 or 80x25 for screen size, which is pretty much the default for PC telnet bbses nowadays. Also, I highly recommend DCTelnet as a client. It's on aminet.

OK, I'll try those settings.

Won't work on my rather stock A500. It doesn't even have ethernet, I connected with the help of a serial device server.

Haha good to see you mro Hey, do me a favor if you can get the word out there that daydream development will continue once I get back to the USA next week and I'll be back around. IRC ports, telnet, ssh, anything useful, etc., are all blocked here.

I can provide you a gateway that you can use.

No worries man, I'm home in a week. To be honest the connectivity is so terrible here that it's pretty fruitless to mess with gateways and proxies.

Today, I booted my A1200 for the first time since the 90's. When the monitor finally warmed up, I was looking at a black screen with familiar lime green, blue, red, and purple text - it was AmiExpress BBS. This was the system we used to run our BBS. What a blast from the past!

Oh yeah??? What version? Do you have a decent filebase on there, or have any of your bbs file archives? I have a lot of ami/x stuff but not as much as I'd like. Maybe you should throw it back online for a while!

[JimDrew]

v2.39 is the version number. Yes, I have all of the original download files for Utilities Unlimited, mostly consisting of files for EMPLANT's Mac emulation. I don't have any modems anymore.
