There is a new trend for BBS systems that are all Web based but look like old BBS systems (for example, ANSI style screens on a black background).

These for the most part act like old style BBS systems and are listed here for those who want to check out the experience but don't quite yet understand Telnet, or just are curious and want to see what else is out there in BBS land.

Flux Warp BBS
"Flux Warp", is accessed using a small Java application which launches from a web page, and then communicates using XML to a CGI script on the web server. The Java application provides a look and feel similar to WWIV, using the IBM character set, color codes, etc. Right now it supports just message boards and E-mail. Planning further improvements to it but I am looking for some feedback as to where to go next.

Spectre13's RetroBBS
An emulated BBS circa 1987. Forum message bases discuss retro subjects - BBSing, DOS, programming in Basic and Pascal. Also 'how to' on modern machines.
