Hello, all. Is anyone still operating a dial-in BBS for CBM platforms
(presumably out of a love for retro things)? Is there a list of working
phone numbers available? My C-64 is still fully operational along with
2 1541 disk drives. (No, that's not my everyday computer.) Might be
nice to fire up that 1670 modem once again that I used for so long with
Q-Link/AOL. Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely,

While most are available via Telnet or SSH, some have real phone lines.

As another option, you can get one of these for your C64:
http://www.cbmstuff.com/proddetail.php?prod=WiModemOLED
which will let you access Telnet BBSs from your C64.

Try Reign of Fire BBS. Telnet rofbbs.cnetbbs.net:2300 dialup (931)/494-9100
If you have Skypix, he has that enabled as well.

Have you tried connecting to cottwoodbbs lately?
I tried 12/3/2022 with a connect error, which means the BBS is offline.

I'm wondering if anyone has a status of BALBAZAAR and his systems?

... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.
