No problem - that Slotrom program you suggested worked slick! Didn't even have to break out the ROM burner... Just for clarification, CQ II BBS runs on a Mac Mini via telnet connections all year round. I've used the CSI Hurdler in my IIci during #MARCHintosh to host a Hermes II BBS (called...

Sweet! It's been a while since I got on a Hotline server - will check it out.

Cool project! Would it be possible to get this to work over GlobalTalk?

Yeah, go for it!

That's cool! It's too bad ZiModem doesn't support the entire AT command set for hosting a BBS.

Chris Swan, author of Black Night terminal program, has signed onto the BBS! He describes why Black Night was the best terminal program in the 90's and still works great today. He also talks about how he came up with the name (and no, it's not a play on White Knight). Check out post #76 in the...

Will Price, the original programmer for Hermes BBS who recently reacquired it, just signed onto the BBS. Come join us and learn about the early days of Mac BBS'ing!

There's an extensive Mac LAN game list from 1985 to 2008 here: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/macintosh-network-games-excel-file And don't be fooled by the OS 8-X requirement - that's just because it's an Excel file.

A 10-node Hermes II BBS! Technically you could do a total of 14 nodes with three NuBus serial cards in a Iici. I wonder if anyone did that BITD? And actually, myCSI Hurdler II is somewhat flaky and only works part of the time despite reflowing all the solder joints and recapping it, so I...

You should be able to connect via Telnet with Black Night, since I can do it in Basilisk II. Assuming you've downloaded the version for CQ II and followed the instructions in the README FIRST file to get it set up, it should be fairly easy to get on my other BBS. Double-click on the CQ II icon...

And we're back for #MARCHintosh2025! What's new this year? Downloads have been updated with the latest vintage Mac software releases, which I don't think you can find anywhere else in one place. I also finally figured out how to add file descriptions. Added the Macworld Game Hall of Fame...

The Crow's Nest BBS, running Hermes II v3.1.1 on my 40 MHz 68040 Carrera-accelerated Mac IIci with six wifi modems hooked up to a CSI Hurdler II 4-port serial NuBUS card, is back again for #MARCHintosh! The same IIci hosts my GlobalTalk zone. The original project is detailed here. What's new...

I've got one, but haven't played around with it much. I just learned that the built-in terminal program supports ANSI emulation. Do you know if it emulates ANSI in color?

I'll break out my '040 IIci and have it host a GlobalTalk server and a 6-node wifi modem Hermes II BBS again. Speaking of Hermes, it's back in the hands of its original creator, Will Price. Hopefully we'll see some further development in the near future!
