  • SIMNET - Dialup access to your Telnet BBS

    From Sampsa@VERT to All on Fri Sep 16 22:46:01 2016
    SIMNET is a pun on (Simulated) Tymnet - basically we're trying to set up dial-in access points that will enable old-skool modem users to access
    Telnet BBSes via access points across the globe.

    Want your telnet BBS to have (eventually a bunch of) dial up numbers
    across the globe?

    Send me an email to admin@uuhec.net with "SIMNET node application" as the subject with the following details:

    - BBS code (the user types this in to connect to your BBS, up to 8 alphanumeric
    letters/digits)
    - BBS name and description
    - Telnet address and port

    In the following format:

    <CODE>|<name and description of the system>|<address of the system>|<port>

    e.g.

    B4BBS|B4BBS - Yesterday's technology today!|b4bbs.sampsa.com|23

    (The separator is a pipe symbol ["|"] and none of the fields should obviously contain that or it'll bork the script)

    Becoming an access point
    ========================

    Got a spare landline and a modem (or maybe a 2G GSM dataline)?

    Come help us spread the Good News about CONNECT 9600!

    Contact us on the FB group below or me directly at admin@uuhec.net


    Cheers,

    Sampsa

    PS: The current dial-up number is +358 465 0057498
    We will also be updating http://www.uuhec.net/simnet/ ASAP with more
    numbers.

    PPS: There's a FB group set up for this:

    I like it. Might even consider setting up an access point myself, if it's feasible, given:

    1. the hardware requirements (I do have plenty of dialup modems and a POTS line doing little other than collecting telemarketing calls).

    2. The software requirements (OS, etc).

    Anyway, I'll check out your Facebook page. :)
