Yes, it's possible. It is quite small, but running.
There are also other networks like fsxNet, which is more active.
My BBS, Imzadi Box, can be reached at box.imzadi.de (telnet and web).
OpenXP (a CrossPoint fork) also works on Linux and one can poll via IP :-)

PTJ North@denix @sjvn Iโve been โonlineโ since using a DEC PDP-1103 using a hardwired physical dialup beginning in late 1979 via a GTE Sylvania โintranetโ. We were all connected to transfer our lab results from remote locations back to the home base in Towanda NY. Baud rate was really really really low.
I remember using DOS, later Spry Mosaic w Windows and connecting to NASA using a fast 1200 baud modem in 1990 - 1992 or so. Fun times.

๐๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ@cherylgk @denix @sjvn The first computer I used was a timesharing system run by my school district, with which I communicated on a Model 33 teletype and which I could program in BASIC. And then, two years later, I started at Colorado University (Boulder) and I got to use the CDC 6400 with punch cards and Fortran.

semitone@sjvn ah, the bad old times. if i think about old technology i don't feel old for some reason, i just realize again how good things are now generally speaking. although i want my usenet back. that was a great way to discover interesting things and people.

Aho@sjvn I remember NetScape 1.0, frameless
Steve Loughran@sjvn I remember emailing marca about various features in the original mosaic browser and getting rational answers. That is very different too how he is now.
@sjvn I also think I was sitting a few cubicles away from dave "dsr@hplb" ragget while he was doing HTML tables. Probably the most long-lasting piece of work from HPL Bristol (as well as Colin Needham building a web server from his text files of movies he watched and associated Perl code -which is now known as IMDb)
Maxx@sjvn uninstalling RealPlayer was hell!
Gary@csnetprogrammer @sjvn haha yeah and always got the answer: to expensive and that they see no benefit ;)

cowboybanjobiker ๐ค ๐ช๐ดBut I liked AltaVista.
@cowboyminer You and me both!
lippyduck@sjvn CompuServe.
Maurice Lanselle@lippyduck @sjvn mosaรฏc too, for CompuServe.
Gondoliere@sjvn me2, but much earlier I've crawled the Fido-Net with my DataphoneS21
coderipper@coderipper Is it? I thought the last Gopher server was retired a few months back. I'd dig it up myself, but I'm buried in work at KubeCon.
@sjvn I normally access Gopher using the Lynx browser in a terminal or from Firefox with the OverbiteWX extension installed. You can get more information here: https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher

yup. me too. back in the 1980s, the only way i could do research online, FROM PUERTO RICO, was with gopher thru NYU or Columbia's system.
kids have no idea how early adopters (mostly Gen Xers) made the internet viable by stubbornly make it work beyond what the MIC thought possible.
Bridge&Tunnel Jeff@sjvn Archie, Veronica, pine, gopher in soft amber or green phosphor on DEC vt220 - when the world was young.
