Hi all,

I revived my 386 this week and got it to talk TCP/IP :)
Dusted off the 3COM 3c509 and I telnet'ed to my bbs. The telnet client is a bit weird, backspace is not working and the first char after <enter> is not typed.
Anyway, I'm having a REALLY great time bbs'ing on my old 386DX40 :D

Hope you're all having a great weekend too!

Lol, I knew I wasn't using the oldest piece of hardware -least of all here-, but it's the oldest piece of hardware in this household :)
Still thinking about getting a ZX Spectrum though.

But seriously... Glad you're having fun with it. That's what it's all CC> about!

Oh, I am for sure! The DOS days are slowly coming back to me and I can't stop smiling whenever I fix something :)

And I BBS regularly with my Atari Mega STe and Atari STacy, both circa 1989/1990 and using the WiModem232 device for connectivity. I also run
The DarkForce! BBS on a 1987 Atari Mega ST4. Rock on! :)
