+DarkLord Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 On the ST, you can use AtarIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Someone was asking me the other day what VT52 graphics looked like. Here is a quick snap of the main menu from my BBS (sorry about the scan lines): Note that I always take the factory setting green and change it to blue, so if you've not done anything like that, all the blue sections would be Atari ST green. So the next question is, can 8bits display VT52 graphics? I wasn't sure. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox-1 / mnx Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 While using Bobterm (1.23): VT520 and VT52E graphics, yes, but no colors and only in 40 columns. 80 Columns requires an XEP80 but is a bit slower as it can't keep up with a 19K2 connection :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ice-T XE displays ANSI graphics in 80 columns with no speed issues. It is mono still. I'll get a screen grab sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEtalGuy66 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ice t does not do 19.2K... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ice t does not do 19.2K... Maybe not, but I've never connected to a site where it dropped characters on me, and it has a 16kB buffer for incoming data as well as a 16kB scrollable screen buffer. Pretty adequate for my A8 "surfing" needs. Only thing it needs is a VBXE driver so I can get those nice 80 columns in color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 For anyone who missed this. I relaunched my Atari 8bit bbs, called "BBS The Atari Inside" ... it runs on Atari 600XL (576KB), BlackBox, CF-card (Thanks to Acard SCSI -> IDE adapter). telnet://bbs.inspiration-soft.com It's using Lantronix MSS100. If you do not get a connection this probably means: other user online, or bbs is doing some events. New users do not have access to everything. Please register, and request for a permanent password (you will be asked if you want that). I will update your account asap (usual that is within 24h). Best experience is in Atascii (using Bobterm).

Lord Cygnus Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I finally got my BBS up and running with the Oasis Jr BBS 1988 software! It's working great after much trial & error to configure the program and menus. YYZ BBS is now available via telnet: yyzbbs.no-ip.org Running on original Atari 130XE 1MB & disk drives. APE supplies the R: handler connection for telnet. Come by and visit. It's been 1987 - 1988 since I ran this board. -=[Lord Cygnus]=- YYZ BBS Houston, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I connect on port 23 I am presented with what looks to be the login for your router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Cygnus Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm away from the BBS for a few days and it looks like the power may have shut off at that location. When I get back I will reboot the BBS and get it back online. I'll post another message when it's ready. -=[Lord Cygnus]=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Cygnus Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ok, YYZ BBS is back online. I just got back in town. The power did in fact go out while I was gone due to thunder storms. Try again telnet: yyzbbs.no-ip.org Thanks, -=[Lord Cygnus]=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Umm, was just on there - looks like you did make it on - what did you see when you couldn't logon? What time was it? Remember, right after 12am each night, it does a bit of automated maintenance and won't accept incoming calls. If a caller is on at say 11:59pm, and doesn't hang up till...say 12:30am, then the BBS won't start maintenance until 1am. Just the way its set up. Thanks!

Was able to get on a few hours later an post my messages. Ok, interesting new development for me where I am... I found out that port 23 might be blocked, but apparently other ports are not blocked, at least not immediately. I was able to get on Thunderdome which is on port 471. So if it is possible to have another port open to the other Atari BBSs I can get on those too. Or is there just a way to substitute another port that could mimic port 23?

+DarkLord Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yep, sorry about that - I'm trying to help with the Atari ST Software Preservation Project and I'm using the Mega ST4 that runs the BBS to make Pasti images. They just recently posted a fairly large list of missing titles and I had a few of them so I'm trying to help out. Will probably be offline, off and on, for the next couple weeks, mostly late at night though. We're up right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
