Calling a BBS: Retro Computing Experience.
มุมมอง 747วันที่ผ่านมา
In this video, I take a step back in time and reconnect with the world of Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) - the early Internet before the web as we know it. I’ll show you what it’s like to call a BBS in 2024, exploring how these retro online communities worked and what kind of content you can find today. From the classic dial-up sounds to accessing old-school forums and files, join me as I dive in...

A Cisco 2811 setup with a wic-1am-v2, a vic3-4fxs/did and 2 PDVM2-64 cards. Inspired by @clabretro and following a guide by @theserialport. It works well and allows my Win95 machine to surf the web just like back in the day! serialport.org/blog/cisco-router-modem-isp-in-a-box/ If you follow the guide but have issues with DNS on the machine dialing in, add "ip name-server 8.8.8.8" to your config.

    This is my all time favorite game. I had a great message exchange with Hal Barwood, the creator, a few years back where I thanked him for making such a great game. I shared some of the comments with him that were made about it on a popular FB group, where hundreds of folks were praising it, 30 years after it was released.

    I used to log in to Lunatic Labs, somewhere in Los Angeles. Young people today will never understand the pain of endless busy signals-sometimes for weeks. But the pure excitement of hearing the phone ring and the handshake begin? That was a total rush. Simpler times.

    You are right about the 'magic' of the BBSes back then, used to dial in and play one of those doors games (the name is lost to time) after school with my best friend when a kid. Also being able to download stuff like the Doom shareware and user levels from the download section was amazing too. That was the early-mid 90s so the real internet wasn't very widespread yet.

      @@retrorelic the goal I was aiming for was simply adding the basic settings that a dreampi does, but with the ability to inject the line voltage from the wic-1am-v2 (or something similar) and being able to connect to v90 or v92 for full speed, it would be great for posterity and future generations of classic gamers to have

    • @retrorelic

      @@narniaphuket In this case the VIC3-FXS/DID card is acting as POTS and is actually suppling the line voltage. The WIC-1AM is just an internal modem the cisco uses to connect and provide a PPP connection. You could use just the FXS card and dial between the 4 ports connected to external devices. As for v.90/v.92 you'll need to setup a digital modem (ISDN) for those speeds. I am working on that too but still in the learning process for that setup.

      @@narniaphuket Looks like there is a VIC-2FXS that will work in the 2600 series. Its only 2 ports though. I'd look for a cheap 2800 or 3800 series as those support the newer VIC3 cards. You'll also need PVDM cards to supply the voice/audio channels for the FXS cards. Thankfully most of this older Cisco gear is pretty cheap to find on places like ebay.
