I should have kept it around in light of things like this. At least it would have went to a good home. (or the home of a disgruntled, old Sysop who still tears up about the old days of his Courier 33.6 and initialization strings "AT&F &M1 &*CRYYY*")
Alas the days of the ANSI terminal, the baud and the chimes and hisses of a dial-up modem are gone. I have alot of fond memories of my late 80's - mid 90's days of BBSing though. 😁
The BBS days will always remain awesome! Why not start up another one, the BBS scene is still active and SynchroNet BBS is released as freeware by Rob Swindell, the creator. He still releases updates for it, he even runs a BBS and owns DOVE-Net [simular to FIDO-Net which btw is still active these days too], etc.
The SynchroNET BBS software package has everything you'd need for an internet based BBS. 😀
