Your board is on digitalman's list of syncronet bbs's so I already had it.
I logged in and poked around. I was surprised you're not on any of the message echoes.

This can be run entirely virtualised - no special hardware other than either a "landline" or the pap2t. (ill get to rotary later..) The PAP2T and asterisk can provide ulaw to allow 300bps connections. Yes, running a local asterisk is far more stable than trying to connect to one remotely, but ive done it! I have a setup functioning to 4800 baud for faster modems as well. The rotary element will likely need a pulse to tone adapter, lots of options for that, I use a PBX and I also have a few purpose devices new and old. You can easily have a BBS software or custom *NIX program to interface, and with the various termcap things in this group that have been shared, you can get a viable connection.

I suppose in an ideal world, I’d like a setup that I can dial out from my rotary phone, and a second line that I could dial in to a modem. How difficult does that sound? I tried to use MagicJack previously but the compression codex they use doesn’t play well with data transfer.

There is a Commodore 64 BBS out there called BorderlineBBS that has a hybrid Telnet/Dial-Up interface. I managed to use the acoustic couplers to dial in once from the Model T, but ever since switching to VOIP I wasn’t able to get it to work. I really always loved BBSing, so I would be in full support of using a Model T focused BBS. -George On Sun, Feb 26, 2023 at 7:30 AM Ben Strewens <[email protected]> wrote: On 2023-02-26 4:50 a.m., Daniel L wrote:I'm considering a specialized launch of a BBS catering to the modelT community. Any good boards out there already doing this that I can peruse? DanielI'm currently working on one that will support multiple systems, including the model 100. I'm aiming for going all the way down to the Epson HX-20, but we'll see how that pans out. It won't be up and running for a while yet. We're supposed to get a new ISP here this year. The one who bought out the company I was with closed all my ports and had no clue how to re-open them, so my BBS got shut down. In the meantime, I figured I'd work on one that caters to the vintage computer community. I still have lots of work ahead of me.
