how can I set up a old school bbs?
Thenasty:
you can setup your PC with WILDCAT bbs. Dunno if its updated for Xp/Vista but I did run it in Win98.
Get Procom Plus for your terminal proggie (for your buddies).
When i had mine setup, I use it to access my HD from anywhere (DOOR). This is just when I need a proggie or a utility that I did not bring with me, or I need to tranfer someones software that did not fit in one floppy disk :)
Ahhh!!! good ole C64. I still have mine. I use Novaterm to access them BBS with my 1200 baud modem. Took all night to DL a game. I hated those RATIO stuff. I had to give (same game over and over, till the mod caught on) to get my ratio up for DLing :)

That reminds me of having to convert my website to gopher:// as quick as possible. :angel:

SSL is extremely secure - so secure the gov't and financial institutions use it. If you really need physical separation of networks that badly... just tell us you want to do it for nostalgia reasons and not security, eh? The last couple of actual running BBS I read about in the paper were shut down for a pretty nasty reason.

No Chad . No nasty stuff. :o
8 or 9 years ago Roms were simple to find.
all the sights got shut down.
you know all the stuff we like here.
I was a big part of an Atari club in AZ.
I figured if I started a Old BBS and let a few friends from work in.
and some of there friends would log in. We just might have some fun and start meeting up on every 3 sat. of the month.
I keep all my nasty stuff to my self . well.... not true. My wife like to watch porn with me also >:D
ChadTower:
Hrm... for just that stuff it would probably be far easier to set up an open source https based repository. Then again, for all I know there are BBS enthusiasts still out there that are keeping stuff running still today. Just doesn't feel like it would be the same on a PC - gotta do it on a TI99. :)

Ok lets forget I am a nerd.
You are talking to a Kentucky red neck.
