Not likely. I ran my Carina II bbs until 96'. The internet really killed
the BBS. Who wants to pay LD charges to get what they can have for free
on the Net'. Don't know if any of the list folk were users, but the
board's name was "Cheez Daddy's House of Funk".
I know, I know. I got the name from a friend when we were in Desert
Shield and Desert Storm. He named his tent and I took that name for the
bbs....
There are a few still left though. Some have even moved to the Web. The
CLOSER TO HOME bbs is up and running via Telnet for instance. I doubt that
dialup boards are going to make a comeback even if LD goes for free.
There isn't enough content on one bbs to meet the internet head-on. Maybe
we should host Classiccmp on some vintage machine?
Regards,
Jeff
