I believe they       are few and far in between in the US. I think some countries still have       a more dense population of BBSs.              That being said, I think there is a resurgence of new BBSs that start as       telnet (or SSH) and then add modem support. I don't know how many of       these boards are joining FidoNet.              > I also saw some videos on YouTube connecting a C64 (and so probably a       > C128) with some additional hardware and crazy cable setup to the internet.              I wonder if that was a WiFi232 with the proper cables and / or adapters       to connect to a C64 or C128.              I think the WiFi232 is an impressive little device that gateways between       AT commands and IP connected telnet enabled BBSs. (Or really anything       that you can telnet to.)                            --       Grant. . . .       unix || die              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
