This Gen Xer recalls the miracle of learning the "ATM0" command to turn off the modem's speaker, allowing me to do what I called "sneak BBSing" after my folks were asleep when I was a teen. I'd sneak to the computer room & dial in and post on "the boards" as one did. Quietly.

I had no idea dial-up still existed.

While you were checking your phone, this guy was logging into a BBS on a portable CP/M-based computer with an eight-line non-backlit display. https://bytecellar.com/2018/04/14/modern-day-bbsing-on-the-epson-px-8-cp-m-laptop-circa-1984/

Retrocomputing enthusiast Niels Haedecke joins the show. We talk about his telnet/SSH access Wintermute BBS, FidoNet, the RC2014 Z-80 CP/M computer and the telnet BBS he's running on it, the Forth programming language, and the My4th Computer.

Did some major updates on Raspbian and reinstalled SyncTerm. Back to BBSing on the #uConsole. OS working much better now and battery life much improved.

Who says you need a giant monitor to dive into the retro #BBSing?
Southern AMIS BBS an #Atari 130XE—and we’re connected in style on the Sinclair MTV1, Casio Color TV, and the classic Sony Watchman. Micro TVs, mega nostalgia.

I think I was receiving email when I started BBSing when I was 7, so 1982/83? I remember having Prodigy in late elementary school ('85/86). By middle school, I was on Ddial (a chat system) and my main social life was folks I met there until I graduated from high school. 😅

Yeah, I miss that kind of community. I made several RL friends from my BBSing days.

I don't think I was BBSing until 1990ish. From 85-90 I was at university and connecting to the outside world via the university's Internet connection.

The only two clients I have still using fax (lawyer, vet) have been VoIP with fax-email gateways for years now. Pacnet is gone. Even for vintage BBSing you'd use a network FOSSIL not a modem!

#Atari BBS history! I recently came across an original disk of FoReM MPP, one of the pioneering BBS software titles for Atari 8-bit. Another step in preserving Atari BBS heritage!

Speaking of BBSing, if you're an Apple user (Mac, iPhone, iPad), MuffinTerm (free) is a great way to BBS.

I started BBSing as a preteen in the 90s and have been "online" ever since. I believe that encouraging kids to jump onto a demonstrably toxic and compromised platform run by a rich nazi propagandist with an inside line to the nation's king pedophile leads nowhere good.
hell, baby mecha hitler aside, X is absolutely no place for kids, jesus christ, talk about chumming the water

Before torrents, before FTP, before high-speed — we had #Xmodem, Express! Term, and a whole lot of watching this screen..

This is what BBSing at 300 baud looks like.
In 1984, this was about as good as it got for me.
Tonight, I needed to hit a couple of Atari / ATASCII BBSs and all I had at hand was...
