Out of fascination I was scouring DuckDuckGo and random articles to find some modern software to connect to BBS’s and came across SyncTERM Web Service on GitHub, which runs the SyncTERM terminal program in a full screen web browser.

I’m going to give it a go later today! Figured I’d share it here for anyone who wants to play around with it.

Thanks for sharing! If you’re going to take the plunge (I plan to in the future) feel free to start a post and update it with your adventures.

Retro Communities

!bbses@lemmy.dbzer0.com

The place to discuss “Retro Communities” like BBS, Fido-Net, Metrolink, Doors games and old forums/technology and even ANSI art.

“Retro Communities” is not just about old technologies, it’s also about the “feel” of those older communities. Text walls are allowed, asking questions is encouraged. Making a mistake is not a tragedy. You are welcome here!
