Who said BBS' are dead?

Retro is again chick, it seems -- even when it comes to IT.

For example, who would have thought that real, character based BBS' would have survived in the Internet era?

But, there are many active bulletin board systems still available, but isntead of having a modem waiting to be called, they are available through the Telnet protocol!

For example, try this. Also, there's a whole big list available of these systems, and there even is an open-source software to run them.

Long live ANSI graphics!
