Description
Bulletin board systems saw their heyday before the Internet, but they’re still going strong thanks to adapting to new software and hardware. This 23-page PDF looks at the history of BBSs through a review of BBS: The Documentary and an interview with its director, Jason Scott. Mike Whalen then demonstrates how to use an Apple II to “dial” into a BBS via telnet, host a telnet, or use the WiModem232 to achieve wireless dial-up capacity. Kelvin Sherlock also takes us behind the scenes of how he ported ProLine to the cloud, running a BBS off Amazon’s servers.
