BBS has been switched back over to a C64
After much bugfixing (and I'm sure more to go), the BBS I've been running for almost 15 years has gone back to its roots on a C64 .. .heck it's running the SAME bbs I had in 1993... backups are cool. So if you're a C64 fan, point your C64 or CGTERM to:
telnet://particlesbbs.dyndns.org
Heavily PETSCII'd, I wouldn't try it on an ANSI terminal for right now.
For people who don't own a real C64 that's hooked to the net, grab CGTERM at www.paradroid.net/cgterm (OSX and Windows)
Aw c'mon.. I figured I'd see more DP people on there. There's even a game of Empire going on ... Empire kicks ass.
Awesome !
That sounds really really neat !
I love that fact that BBSes are alive & well & running on the original hardware!
Like "The Sierra NetWork" for example.

I have an Apple Macintosh SE/30 computer -- can I access your BBS with that or does it have ta be with a Commodore64 ?
Later!

You can access it on anything, but in order for it to look like more than a pile of characters, you'll need either a real C64 or to grab CGTERM from www.paradroid.net/cgterm
C'mon.. check out the pile of drives on this puppy!
And look.. even PapaStu is playing Empire if you look close enough!
Wait, Sierra Network, up? Where?
by the way, not a thread jack - I just loaded Icebreaker's BBS in Telnet, the color ASCII thing doesn't look recognizable. Still, it seems to work, which is cool. Edit: Lol, should've read all the comments. Okay, CGTerm it is!

I've been meaning to add some ANSI stuff in there but since this is primarily for people on PETSCII terminals, it would take quite a bit of modding to do that.
im guessing you need to run geos to use the internet with a c64
do you need any special hardware?
The human operates out of complex superiority demands, self -affirming through ritual, insiting upon a rational need to learn, striving for self-imposed goals, manipulating his environment while he denies his own adaptive abilities, never fully satisfied.

Nope, I have a nullmodem cable hooking up to a PC which is running BBS Server. BBS Server is both a modem emulator and a telnet gateway so it routes the traffic over to my C64.
I broke it again.....
I swear once you let me get into Empires and I don't crash it i'll take over that whole universe!
IT WILL BE MINE!!!!!
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

That's pretty cool. I'm not into those types of games but I have a friend that is and he might be interested in checking it out.

Wow, I thought I broke it last night in super empire, I was attacking someone's empire (whether or not it was yours I don't remember) and the whole thing just locked up on me. When I tried to re-connect it was down lol.
Stu found an issue in Super Empire
Upgraded the BBS to a 270MB SCSI hard drive, JiffyDOS on a C128D. 270MB might not sound like a lot, but it's 1.1 million blocks free baybee!
Online games like Empire, Nukem, Stockmarket and more. If you have some old C64 disks with more Cbase mods on em, upload em!
i played that empire game and the U.S.S. Sothy was destroyed when i left it in space.
We can only mourn the poor citizens of Sothytopia that Stu most likely subjugated and raped to death.

My society isn't a raping one.... just a plundering and subjugated one. It lets me abuse them more before they try and revolt.

Sothy's confused - he played trade wars on the old BBS
Papastu: Someone's in your fiefdom, killing your serfs.
I can't remember how to get back into the game!!!
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Man, I need to get into running a BBS again using a C128. All I gots at the moment is a C64.
<Blackjax> YES!!! MIDGET WRESTLING ON THE SPANISH CHANNEL!!!!
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I gotta get back on there. Got distracted by all these games that have graphics and such lol.
