The Basement BBS was originally online from 1986 - 1998. The version that
you can now telnet to was pieced together with backup floppy disks from
1990-1993. The BBS includes restored messages/message bases from 1990-1993,
some restored file sections, 21 online games, and lots of customization.
For best results, log in with an Atari 8-bit or a telnet client that
supports ATASCII (Atari Mode). One such client is Syncterm. Syncterm is
available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS/X, etc. You can download Syncterm
here.

The Basement's telnet address is: basementbbs.ddns.net port: 9000.

If you rather not use a telnet client, then you can log in using a web
client available at: www.sfhqbbs.org/telnet-basement.php

Note: The web client below does not work with The Basement. You  need to
use the aforementioned web client.

Update: Our web page is now available
at http://basementbbs.ddns.net:7000/.

Particles! BBS is a retro-themed BBS, running on retro-themed hardware.
 However, when we started in 1992, we weren't retro... the world has just
started catching up to us now :)  We're running on a Commodore 128D, with
640K of RAM (which should be enough for anyone....).  Also:

 	50,000+ Commodore 64, 128, CP/M, Vic-20, Plus/4 files (PAL and NTSC),
GEOS, MODs and more!
 	Retro Usenet - read messages like it's 1985!
 	Usenet - Yup, a Commodore BBS running Usenet.  I wrote the module, so I
know it works ;)
 	Doors  doors doors..  Everything from Empire to ... wait, there's other
stuff besides Empire?
 	Active!  That's a rarity.  Since we re-rolled the board in August 2014,
we just rolled over 38,000 calls, 25,000 messages, and over 900 users.
