Today I connected to a BBS the regular way, with a 1200bps modem through a dialup line, on a IBM PS1 from 1987 (?) with Procomm+ 2, a call from Switzerland to England. And it was magic, like in the late ‘80. I so much loved that feeling. I really need to pass that knowledge to younger generations, those that are born with WiFi and fiber and have no idea what atdt or ansi or 9600 8n1 means. Or BBS for that matter … that must be preserved. Thank you to all the good people that maintain their nodes still online and reachable, we’ll try to add ours shortly. #bbs #modem #retro #computing #80 #ATDT #ATS0=1
