Sometimes you just have to go full old school. Connecting to AMIS XE over ASCII, just like BITD. No fancy stuff, the glow of a monitor, modem hum, and a wall of text menus. Calling out on real iron: Atari Mega ST2 + Hayes Tattler Log in today: amis86.ddns.net port 9000

You know the story before the web, there was the BBS — blazing 300 baud modems, Atascii, ASCII & ANSI, door games, warez, and msg bases buzzing. Now it’s back, of course faster, and a column in COMPUTE!’s Gazette. Catch Dialed Back — the BBS revival is real! #ComputeGazette

Before torrents, before FTP, before high-speed — we had #Xmodem, and a whole lot of watching this screen. Checksum in play, SOH timeouts, NAK’ing blocks like a champ You know the thrill of waiting 40 mins for a cracked copy of Donkey Kong #atari #bbsing #fujinet #southernamis
