  • BBSes - the alternative to the Internet Madness

    From Marc Lewis@marc.lewis@no_spam.sursum-corda.com to alt.bbs.general on Mon Jul 5 20:44:51 2021

    Hello all!

    Take a break from the internet's automated madness. Slow down,
    sit back and log into one of the BBSes advertised in this group.

    Before HTTP, WWW, Google, Facebook, eBay or any of the internet stuff
    people take for granted now, BBSes were moving people's messages and
    files. We still do WITHOUT the spam. We do it without the glitz.
    We are real people at the keyboards -- not autoresponder robots!

    Never done it before? Need help? JUST ASK! Almost any BBS you
    call into will have a System Operator (SysOp) that would be happy
    to help you navigate the BBS environment.

    Best regards,
    Marc

    Marc -
    This is Jeff Soper, (Co-Sysop,) The Black Knights BBS. I lost your email to contact you directly. I just like to email you about getting my BBS connected with the internet. I'm getting a static ip address phone line installed soon. So please email me. So we can discuss on how to get my dial-up modem to where it can connect and detect human callers (telnet) from data type of calls. You can email me at jeffs4947 at gmail.com
