Hello, I am looking for volunteers to help mainly tonyshowoff out with rebuilding an aol, and later on a compuserve classic compatible server. I'm no programmer, but I am providing some numbers in association with flexnsniff, a project maintainer of 2600.network, to provide dial up and an option, as well as general research that should help out with the project.
As someone who was born well after the dial up era, I am fascinated with what the pre web internet was like, but I also realise that both nina.chat and 2600.network are extremely historically important and I have donated to both of them. If you like both their projects, you should as well.
Anyway, so far I have attempted to reach out to u/BrightonDBA who is working on a compuserve replacement server. Unfortunately he either can't or won't respond to my messages but I am always looking for other people to help us out.
If you are a competent programmer who knows the protocols that both services use and are interested, send me your Discord username and I'll contact you shortly. Thanks. submitted by /u/Ok_Bear_1980 [link] [comments]
