The place where Bulletin Board Systems live on!


Post / Comment Guidelines


Reminisce with The BBS Documentary, viewable online here.


Find one of hundreds of BBSes running today using the lists found at The Telnet BBS Guide, BBS Guide, or IPTIA BBS Resource Site.


You will want to use a proper BBS compatible terminal to get the full experience: SyncTERM ^(win,mac,lin), Netrunner ^(win/lin), or mTelnet ^(win,os2)


Find oodles of software, text files, and people at The BBS Archives and The BBS Corner.


Create your own BBS with DayDream, EleBBS, Maximus, ENIGMA½, Mystic BBS, Renegade, Synchronet, or x/84.


fTelnet and HtmlTerm are Flash and HTML 5 telnet clients for access to BBSes via the web should you decide to start your own BBS.

If you are a SysOp or if you want your favorite BBS/Resource in the sidebar, drop one of the mods a line, and one will check it out. Please give the complete telnet address of the BBS so we can log in.

About to embark on getting Renegade DOS v1.33 up and running on ArcaOS.

Never used OS/2 during the 90’s bit was always curious about its DOS capabilities (“does DOS better than DOS”).

It also has a legal version of Windows 3.1 included, and some support for Windows 32 native apps. I figured at the very least I’ll need Perl to run the telnet sever that’s out there, or maybe Net2BBS will run.

Anyone use ArcaOS for BBSing? I know Mystic BBS had a native version at one point.

Biggest downside to trial is there is no trial version - $129 even to mess around with it.
