BBS Bulletin Board System

[Fritz Wuehler]

Hi,

I could use telnet to login
to some bulletin board system BBS

But that is as far as I can go
I dont know how to use it

Do you think any tutorial available

What are the potential uses of BBS

These system are hosted using Dial Up internet

Regards.

BBS systems are cool. Some have lots of well organized subject matter on
various things of interest. They can usually post to usenet, fido and
others. When you first log in, there is typically a brief welcome to
point towards help and navigation. Read it and you'll get along better.

They also have links to other BBS systems. There are quite a few still
running out there. I used to run a GAP BBS (IBM, DEC & CDC fans) myself.

There is a pretty cool BBS in Gemini space, where your own posts appear
in user spaces and you can create also your own sub spaces there. It has
already plenty of interesting sub spaces.

Hello. Tell me if there is a specialized software BBS server on the
protocol of the gemine?
