<p>I don't have any memories of bulletin board systems. However, a
year or two ago I found one which is operational via Telnet. To my
knowledge, BBS owner keeps it online so people can experience a
BBS. In addition to bulletin boards (message area), there is also
a download area and game room with a number of accessible games.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To connect to Reign of Fire BBS through telnet, use the following
data.</p>
<p>host: rof.cnetbbs.net</p>
<p>Port: 2300</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The BBS is free to join/use. I myself connect using the VIP mud
client, but I'm thinking whatever method you use to access telnet
should work with the BBS. Since this message with BBS connection
details is probably off-topic for the list, I acquired permission
from the BlindApple list owner prior to posting.</p>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Unfortunately, I got into BBS's in
the Spring of 1990, so in Louisville there wasn't much left for
Apple II users. There was one BBS run by the local Apple users
group, but I have no idea what software they used. I actually
enjoyed BBS's more when we switched to PC's because I knew I
could actually use some of the programs in the download areas.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been playing around with some BBS
software, namely ProLine and GBBS.</p>

the actual BBS software.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">While I knew about ProLine, I don’t think
I dialed into a GBBS system, but, it’s been so long ago, I
can’t remember. I didn’t do much of that, because every
Apple BBS I called into was a long-distance call, and,
long-distance was not as cheap as it is now, nor was the
Internet available to alleviate the problem.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I know it’s a long shot, but, I’m hoping
some of you have a better memory than mine. As someone
said, ‘”everyone has a photographic memory; some of us just
don’t have any film.”</p>
