Taken from the site. "The definition of a BBS has changed over time. No longer are we just a modem dial-up system running at a whopping 2400 baud (for you youngsters, that's pretty darn slow). Instead we are connected to the Internet and offer other services such as a Web interface, FTP and more - depending on how sophisticated the system is."
So apparently, you don't need a DOS computer, tellnet or a dial-up connection to access some of the boards out there, since they're on the net. But they also have some regular ones as well as a guide on how to use them for those interested.
