  • RetroLair BBS in Canada wants to connect

    From Jeffk@80:774/1 to All on Wednesday, April 02, 2025 09:08:14
    Hi there,

    I finally have my BBS back up after years and years of dormancy... I'm wondering how I go about getting my BBS connected to all of the these different networks, in this case specifically RetroNet.... who would I talk to about that? I know Araknet is by invite only so I'm ok running for a while and hopefully get connected to that at some point.

    Thanks
    Jeff

    Contact Network Coordinator, Gary T. McCulloch on spitfiretn@gmail.com
    That worked for me :-)

    Wouldn't hold your breath, most networks are dead, some net owners
    don't respond or don't care, some can't even keep their hubs up and
    running. I've been up and running for over 6 years and never got an
    Araknet invite or whatever so don't hold your breath.

    Maybe stick to Fido and fsxnet where the traffic is.

    Sorry to be Debbie Downer today.
