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/.

It's back! This BBS is dedicated to vintage computing discussion and file

If you previously had an account, it should still work.

Once again trying to get the old Power BBS software to run on an newer
box... hackers tho make it difficult...

Anyone know a better way to block them better than ANSI login only?

&nbsp;

So I made a change and set my port to 2323 to see how this goes...  IP
134.41.7.160 (dynamic from provider) and trying to subdomain
bbs.thediamonds.org but no joy just yet, might take a bit ?

and dial up at 902-893-1022

Lets try again to make this work.

Thanks!
