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

Welcome to The Curse of Fenric BBS, this is a resurrection of a Renegade
board that I ran in the early 90s that grew from a Maximus board I ran in
the late 80s. I'm hoping it will be a blast from the past to all the older
users out there and a glimpse into history for the younger ones.

Particles! BBS is a retro-themed BBS, running on retro-themed hardware.
However, when we started in 1992, we weren't retro... the world has just
started catching up to us now :) We're running on a Commodore 128D, with
640K of RAM (which should be enough for anyone....). Also:
50,000+ Commodore 64, 128, CP/M, Vic-20, Plus/4 files (PAL and NTSC),
GEOS, MODs and more!
Retro Usenet - read messages like it's 1985!
Usenet - Yup, a Commodore BBS running Usenet. I wrote the module, so I
know it works ;)
Doors doors doors.. Everything from Empire to ... wait, there's other
stuff besides Empire?
Active! That's a rarity. Since we re-rolled the board in August 2014,
we just rolled over 38,000 calls, 25,000 messages, and over 900 users.
