"Oldscool" BBS system?
Somewhere in february i will have an unused phone line at my hands (i open a secondhand hardware shop in Essen and only need the first ISDN and the DSL-line ;) ) and would like to use it for setting up an oldscool BBS system.
I would like to use some PC system with a board software that can talk to a breadbin, so, what painfree (open-/free-)software should i use for this?
Preferable something that can be called over the net trough telnet too.
If someone else want to set such a thing up, i organize the hardware and pay the phone line and the energy bill ;) |

and don't forget Taper/Triad for running Antidote for a few years like this.

That setup would mean using two computers, one windows pc and a breadbin, do i see that right?
My problem there:
Only "massmedia" i have for a breadbin is a 1581 and if that board is going to host some files besides a messaging system the 1581 wont bring me far.
So, isnt there some PC-Only solution for this?
Even some old laptop with a 30 GByte HDD should be enough for almost all C64 stuff that matters and some messaging. ;)
BTW: OS/2 Warp isnt a problem, i even have an original, so if there is some PetSCI compatible system running on OS/2 i would use that.
Otherwise, a Windows is fine too, a Linux is even better :D |

Why not? *g*
For example Versatel has a voice flatrate. |

Yeah, the Internet...
But, do you know about some telnet for the breadbin that does not need a PC as a backend?
I mean, using the C64 plus the RRNet and some standalone router?
Or, better, forget the router, direct DSL connection with the breadbin?
Unless that is given, the only true solution for a real c64 freak is grabing his old modem and use dialup. |

But if you use the pc as telnet converter to a C64. And use http://sourceforge.net/projects/c64ne, so you can use the pc harddisk as a storage device. That would give you plenty more harddisk space then a 1581 disk.
No idea how your pc/c64 coding skills are, but i do think it is possible to make some virtual devices/drivers to use winvice for example to host the breadbox code and run the actual BBS from a emu on a laptop using C64 and the telnet converter on the same machine.
Using a classic phoneline to run a BBS is only helping global warming i guess, i don't believe that people are using BBS systems anymore due to the massive availablity of broadband internet these days.

Long distant calls are far too expensive, even with Versatel -.- |
