Is a pop‑up window on Windows 10 and "dialing" into a BBS over the "Internet" enough? Or does it have to be proper dial‑up with an acoustic coupler or modem ?
For me, ideally it's the latter - and preferably with a period‑correct machine + terminal program. A Commodore 64 for an authentic 1980s BBS session, or a DOS PC for the 1990s. That's when I really feel like I'm in a time warp.
I just had that time warp right here:

Or maybe an old computer plus a BBS over the "Internet" is enough - which is more common these days anyway. submitted by /u/Radiant_Gazelle_8022 [link] [comments]
