neat, but using wine to run the windows telnet client just to get ansi fonts and colors is a bit silly.

that brought back a few memories

I know, right?

WWiV and VisionX were always my favorites, but I regularly dialed into a few Renegade boards.

When it comes to tech that I wish there were still a use for, I don't think anything will outrank the BBS in my mind. The same way some people feel about Steampunk, I feel about BBS's.

A buddy of mine (local) still has a backup on disk of his Maximus setup and from what I understand several of his mods-plugins are still making the rounds
