Lovely. It's nice to have some places to login, for sure. 

I started BBSing on the Apple IIe in 1986 at 1200 baud and stopped when I got
dial-up PPP around 1994. I've been spending a lot of time on telnet BBS' in
the past couple of years though, and it's a great way to put vintage
computers to use (I have a number of them setup for use : http://is.gd/Evgcl1
). 

I setup a page on my blog that is a kind-of guide for people wanting to give
BBSing a shot (hopefully) and also links to some of the BBS adventures that
I've documented online : https://bytecellar.com/bbsing/

Good to see you, and enjoy!
