I also found that Netrunner will automatically put you in RIP emulation if it gets the message from the BBS that it supports RIP. For some BBSs (like Particles), this causes problems because the Sysop didn't set up RIP on his BBS. And there was no way to disable this "feature" in Netrunner.
Interesting.. I didn't know NetRunner supported RIP.

Can you tell me where I can change the port in Netrunners phone book?
rip sucks anyways, usually. i think i've only seen one cool rip bbs in
my lifetime.
Particles BBS runs on port 6400. Netrunner only supports port 23 so you couldn't have connected to Particles BBS with Netrunner anyway.

It's a very very nice Searchlight BBS running RIPScRIPT. You will need windows and Riptel software to connect.

Lately I've felt a bit mixed about that. RIP is cool, but when I think abou RIP ehnahcing the experience, RIP was basically just a next logical step,
lets be honest here. rip is fucking ugly and people didnt use it that much because it sucks.

Lately I've felt a bit mixed about that. RIP is cool, but when I think about RIP ehnahcing the experience, RIP was basically just a next
logical step, creating a GUI for a BBS user interface. Other things
then came around to take that further - PC games (using the full
graphics capability of the PC) added multi-player capability on
networks, and then on the internet. So in a way, we've had a
continuation of that technology already. But I still think BBS
technology is interesting.
BBS technology is certainly a different beast. One thing is because of its origins, it's very data efficient - a little data goes a long way, unlike today's web based technologies, which often transfer gobs of data to do some small thing.
But by today's standards, looks aged.
The choice of EGA resolution, colors and those horrible fonts cursed RIP, I think.

Did RIP have a license fee or something? It seemed like RIP was a standard across different software (similar to ANSI), and I remember there being a fe different RIP clients available. I don't remember much about RIP drawing programs.. But even some of the best ANSI drawing programs (like TheDraw) w shareware.

What do you mean "fight"? You mean charging money for the technology? The I remember it is they tried to corner the market with the software needed to create Rip Screens.

From what I've heard, I thought arpanet slowly grew into the internet over time
they took a hostile stance against bbs sysops.
also, wanting to make money off of that scene was probably difficult.
i'm sure the juvenile sysops didnt want to pay for anything.
