  This time over telnet.

  telnet is an insecure protocol. Ideally you should use ssh instead but most modern BBS’s support both. Of course if you want to dial in on legacy “authentic” hardware then SSH isn’t possible.

  💡You can SSH from your phone using Termux and it works pretty well. It doesn’t use full height of screen but is still usable. BBS’s could be enhanced to support that though.

  Here’s an example of how one looks on my phone:

  ssh NEW@bbs.bottomlessabyss.net -p 2222 -c aes256-cbc

    In my part of the BBS-world telnet is the only option. I’m a C64 guy, and a TCP stack is memory hungry enough for 64k of RAM.

    But yes, encrypt when available.

    I really like Termius for SSH on Android (dunno if it’s on iOS). I use it for all my servers.

  If I can play tradewars again, without having to worry about one of my friends calling to knock me off so they can get in, I’m in.

  Any good resources for finding these?
