EDIT: some of the formatting got jacked up I'm trying to fix it now.
I'm in hutchinson, KS tonight and bored out of my mind so somehow I ended up reminiscing about the early days of the internet. You know before the BS that was AOL. When a true badass had his 14.4k modem and you were still counting baud.
Long story short I found theres a few Dial Up bbs still running!
Heres all that I know work so far.

I haven't gotten connections to all of them but other people recently have so they should be up.
Post finished in next post.
Newbies...
I was making 8088 Zenith laptops talk over VHF with packet radio controllers back in 1987.
this is true. I have NO IDEA what this thread is about.
Trade Wars, Legend of the Red Dragon, Usurper, VGA Planets, major MUD.
VGA planets was funny because it was so graphically weak, but if you didn't have a VGA video card you couldn't play it. I played games that looked better than that on a lowly EGA card. Stupid VGA.
Anyway, back on topic, did y'all ever see when valve setup that bbs as a ARG for Portal? I gotta say that was one of the coolest marketing ploys ever...
Emacs would be a great operating system if only it had a decent text editor.
