Glad to hear there is interest! I still have the BBS coming up, supporting 8x40 display resolution, the lack of which is the biggest pain in BBS surfing with M100. It's going to be up and running in Feb, although the year is not certain ;)
I'm going along with Windows 2000 and BBBS software, and to my understanding BBBS supports MUD's. It also supports multiple telnet connections and for those real retro guys, dial-up. Although I'm struggling not to release a dialup BBS running on a M102 as a side project ;) Cheers! > Hiraghm <[email protected]> kirjoitti 14.5.2015 kello 17.30: > > Steve, > I was reading the bitchin100 site, about the BlueM and the software that > let's you access the internet. > I downloaded some BBS source, not sure how much use it would be, if any. > > I think a BBS, or network of BBSes on the internet, dedicated to 8/16 bit > machines (not just the M10x) would be great. > > I've got SMAUG M.U.D. sitting on my HD, including, I think, sourcecode. > > I think I'd like to run a multiplayer online text adventure game (MMOTAG?) > like Smaug, with customizations for the M10x... and a MUD client for the > M10x/M200.
