Why call a BBS? If you've never run terminal/communication programs like
HyperTerminal or Telix, here's an overview of what BBSes can offer. FidoNet
BBSes offer family-safe, international discussion areas for many special
interests as well as private netmail. Many BBSes offer Internet e-mail and
UseNet newsgroups. Most BBSes offer off-line message reading. The WWW offers
a great variety of files but, if you do find an interesting file on a BBS, a
BBS download will take full advantage of your modem's speed. An active BBS or
BBS message area will give a true sense of online community. ...Anyway,
whether you're indulging in nineties nostalgia, or visiting a possibly-
vanishing virtual community while you still can, try calling a BBS!

This is a small sample listing of Telnet sites, with an emphasis on sites that
are running BBS software and which are still connected to remaining dial-up
BBSes via FidoNet.

Those not familiar with Telnet software should note that, if the above Telnet
addresses are typed in, most web browsers will automatically start your telnet
software for you. After that, things will be similar to "logging on" to a
dial-up BBS.

Here's an interesting question. What makes a web-site a "web-based" BBS ?
For the purposes of this list, the following definition has been adopted;

A web-based BBS either runs BBS software that has been adapted for Internet
use, such as the WorldGroup BBS software with it's GUI client, _or_ is a
web-site which connects to the remaining dial-up BBSes via FidoNet, et al.

Holy crapola! There are still BBSes around. Un-friggin-believable. It's been
years since I accessed a BBS - or even had a modem in my computer. I'm
surprised to see there are still a few active ones in Kingston.

Back in the day, I was a sysop as well, running Doomsday BBS nodes 1 & 2.
But after the Internet came along, interest died down, and I finally shut
down my once very busy site, and reclaimed my phone lines for my own.

But thumbs up to your guys for continuing.
