RBBS4 for CP/M
Description of BBS

This is (probably) the first RC2014 based bulletin board system in the world!

“RC-BOX” is a classic 1985 RBBS 4.1 (BDS C code) bulletin board system utilizing a RC2014 (Z80 based) computer kit running the CP/M 2.2 operating system and BYE5 communication program to interface with the outside world. It’s single-user, so the connection will be dropped with a “BUSY” message if someone else is already logged in. In that case, try again a little later.

Description of BBS

This is a home-brew BBS written in Node JavaScript.
I want to bring back the simpler time before message networks and a bunch or lame door programs.
The goal is to make a BBS that is simple, easy to navigate and only have messages and bulletins that actual local users post.

Description of BBS

A simple, custom-built telnet service that serves the King James Version of the Bible over a text-based interface. Users can connect via telnet (telnetbible.com on port 6400) and navigate or search Bible verses using classic terminal commands. It’s designed to work with both vintage computers (such as Commodore 64, Apple II, IMSAI 8080 and Altair 8800) and modern ANSI-capable terminal emulators, offering a nostalgic, retro-style experience of browsing scripture from a telnet session. You can also connect via SSH (ssh guest@telnetbible.com) SSH password is also "guest". Once signed up, SSH will work with your own credentials. The BBS Software is written in RUST for this particular use.
