We got in Ole, a regular at Bandmaster, and Matt, a regular from Westburian in Houston, TX. Been fun lately.
Probably need to do a blog entry just on the Prison Board at some point to cover all the game areas and other things going on there.

New to the BBS. Had trouble connecting the first time, was not there the second time I tried to connect, but I was able to get most of the registration out of the way.
Before HTTP, WWW, JAVA, FlashPlayer, Google, or any of the internet stuff
people take for granted now, BBSes were moving people's messages and
files. We still do WITHOUT the spam. We do it without the glitz.
And - we do it WITHOUT invading YOUR system with JUNK and MALWARE.
We are real people at the keyboards -- not autoresponder robots!
Call us when you can't stand the internet junk any more!

Sysop (Dallas) and ole time user Ole have been active on this BBS (and I think there is one more). Been talking to Ole on the Prison Board as we work to get more BBS fans together. Anyway, note on this one, this BBS does it's message batching at 3 am CST. Learned that after being on the BBS for like a minute. Which is unfair, since BBSing at 3 in the morning is so much fun.

Well, I was able to finally get on, but was batching mail... At least I know this number is still active, and apparently, usually busy.
Got on a few hours later. The bulletin was not new-new news, but notable for here...
I have added ArrowBridge I and II to the BBS. Both are
setup InterBBS mode on the JustaXnet League 510. AB1
AdventureNet League 933 is also available.

Notables - The BBS has a cool "Press Enter" ascii animation.
Runs under OS/2
Well the BBS has a lot of cool things, except an active sysop. I have left messages over the past four months, so unless I try one of the games above, I will probably just tone verify only this BBS.

===========================
The LORD door, door 21, has finally been fixed to accept the registration
codes. It is now a fully-functioning ("winable") game. Also, The Pit has
been added to the door menu (#33). It is also fully-functional. ENJOY!
Messages available are #1 to 573. You last read #561.
(From the sysop on how to quote here...)
Once you have picked a message to reply to, you hit ENTER on a blank line,
and the message entry menu will come up. Choose 'R' for quote. GT will
ask you which message you want to quote - it will default to the one you
are replying to, so you can hit ENTER. It will then ask if you want to
quote (A)ll (the whole message), or if you'd like to only quote part of
it. To see the lines you want to quote, you use the (R)eview command,
which shows the message to be quoted with line numbers. You can then give
it the line numbers you want quoted & hit ENTER.
Overall, new messages and 4 new users in the last month. I was able to get on the LORD door... some beautiful ASNI screens I have not seen on other LORD copies. No "Other" places in the LORD game, but it was working.

0-54 are local user areas.
Cool that they have Virtual Sysop. No activity on the message boards that I can see. Might try this one a bit longer, but only because they have Virtual Sysop.

Left a message for the sysop last month, dialup not connecting at any speed. Nothing has changed. Won't be called next month.

Electronic Chicken 416-273-7230 Synchronet bbs.electronicchicken.com 
Got on at a very brisk 2400 baud. That is what was claimed, I doubt it was that slow. Neat ideas here, mainly with the networked oneliner wall between the various scene BBS's.

Eclectic BBS 214-987-2135 TX TriBBS (No Telnet)
No new message activity, aside from what I posted about the local snow here in Dallas, and some humor messages. Cool to see they have Kannon and Katapults.

IceDragon (sysop) wrote me back on what he wants to do with the BBS in 2010...
DR> Well good to know you plan on keeping things going till the BBS can
DR>no longer do it. :) So what are your plans for this place? What
DR>changes do you think we will see in 2010?
I want to get MajorMud going here.
I also want to get a sort of old school museum sort of file library for
old phreaking stuff --- Not for the criminal aspect! But a lot of us
here are old Bell System fans.
I'd like to put some of our AT&T LongLines files up here, too.
Eventually I want to get a power supply for the Smartmodem 300 and run
the Retro Line too :)
I know, sounds weird, but i think its important to know your roots.

I've used this in the past and it had a good free shell and Lynx browser to surf the internet from the BBS. However, had a difficult time getting on lately. E-mails have not been returned, so regretfully will only verify the number works in the future.

Positronium 337-984-4794 LA Wildcat (no telnet found yet)
Sysop is CAJUN MECHANIC
No active local message areas that I have found so far, but I have left my first message.
The door games look interesting enough, but what is really interesting is the OTHER door menu:
Looks like these take a particular term program. At any rate, I would love to try this out at some point.

Prism BBS 607-655-5652 NY BBBS filegate.net
General message area had 44 messages, first was from September 2008. My old friend Andy Ball was there. The remaining 18 messages were all new from when I last logged on!! A total of five users talking. Granted the message had been inactive for two years, but when everyone was brought back on, things really got talkitive.

Prison Board 972-329-0781 TX NTServer rdfig.net
My home BBS. While the log in wall has been active, and people have a blast playing the door games against each other, we have been working on getting message activity going on local board #78, and I have been inviting people on the BBS's I've visited here to come and chat. We got in Ole, a regular at Bandmaster, and Matt, a regular from Westburian in Houston, TX. Been fun lately.
Probably need to do a blog entry just on the Prison Board at some point to cover all the game areas and other things going on there.

Sursum Corda! BBS 601-553-3671 MS Maximus
New to the BBS. Had trouble connecting the first time, was not there the second time I tried to connect, but I was able to get most of the registration out of the way.
Before HTTP, WWW, JAVA, FlashPlayer, Google, or any of the internet stuff
people take for granted now, BBSes were moving people's messages and
files. We still do WITHOUT the spam. We do it without the glitz.
And - we do it WITHOUT invading YOUR system with JUNK and MALWARE.
We are real people at the keyboards -- not autoresponder robots!
Call us when you can't stand the internet junk any more!

TDEC West BBS 530-534-5329 CA TriBBS
Asking if there is a telnet address. The sysop, John Young, sent me a welcome message from the last time I logged in. The quote was kinda cute....
Greg, please consider this...

Got on, managed to remember what my password was from last month, and got past the front door to be told there was an upcoming event and call back later. :)
Managed to get on later, trying to get validated from the sysop, Kubla Khan.
