Quoting Dflorey to All <=-
Just curious, are there members here who regularly or even
semi-regularly use authentic retro hardware systems (so not emulated)
to login to other BBS systems - whether that be a BBS you host not on
the same retro machine or onto other BBS systems out in the wild?
If so, what sort of systems do you typically do this on?
What software are you using to access said BBS systems?
And what connectivity bridge are you using to get the retro system
onto a typical TCP/IP network (if applicable)?
I did try to download Kermit from the original source last week, and
the links are now dead. I managed to get a version from elsewhere, yet
to try it out.

I have a couple of systems here that I want to mess with more
regularly, and not just for the purpose of accessing BBS systems, but recently I fired up one of my Compaq Portables (the 386 plasma
version), and used Telnet in Windows 3.1 to access my BBS - I did this
via a serial to WiFi modem device. The functionality was as expected,
but the experience wasn't great - mainly due to a lack of suitable
fonts or translation of the ANSI characters - I need to work on this
Just having fun playing the sandbox of the past. :-)
