Atari-Jess Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I got my 130XE with XM301 set up and I want to test it out. All the BBS' I can find need >1200bps and I only have 300 baud modems (two XM301s and a 300 Bot Engineering Pocket Modem) So if you know a working BBS that will let me connect in the 416 area code, please let me know ASAP!

Mindfield Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 There are still BBSes in Toronto? Seriously? I'm impressed. I haven't called a real BBS since 1997. You should see if you can find an SX212 modem. It's crap, but it's 1200 baud and it's direct-connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEtalGuy66 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Bayman BBS, The 416-698-6573 9600, V34, V32b, V42b East York, ON General BBS, Messages/Networks, FidoNet, Files, Online Games. Sysop: Bruce Hussey (in case any of you were curious, thats a Toronto BBS, he does respond to email btw. 1200bps is the minimum connection speed.) Yeah I was gonna say, That even when dial-up BBS's were still popular, most of them would not allow you to connect at 300bps.. Last time I was able to connect to a BBS system at 300bps was in the 80s. If you can find an atari 850 interface, or ICD P:R: Connection interface, you can use any standard Hayes Compatable external modem. If youd have posted this a week earlier, I just canabalized a perfectly good US Robotics Courier HST 9600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've got a Hayes Accura 14.4 that I'll let ya have for next to nothing + shipping. Even for the SX212 you will need an Interface. If you do find a BBS that lets you log on @ 300 baud, use 1030 EXPRESS!, XE-Term is kinda sucky. BTW, the XM301 isn't a very reliable modem, but that's all I had back in the day (early - mid 80's) I remember having to push the '9' key on another touch-tone phone to log-on to Commodore BBS's. No Atari BBS's in Fort Smith, AR at that time so I had to call long-dist., ran up a $370 phone bill the first month I had it. Fortunately AT&T let me out of it or I wouldn't have had an allowance for a year.... Edited March 23, 2006 by highendsystems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Is this BBS still active? Can someone verify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bripilot Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Even for the SX212 you will need an Interface. Negative... the SX212 has both SIO and Serial ports in the back. No special interface needed. I used one on my 800 for ages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
