  • BRAiNDEAD - Back online in 2025 (RemoteAccess + FreeDOS + SyncTERM over Telnet)

    From BBS ( /u/CBJ_Brain https://www.reddit.com/user/CBJ_Brain ) to All on Sun Aug 3 18:46:13 2025

    Almost 30 years after I first ran my BBS (BRAiNDEAD, 1994-1998), I decided to bring it back.
    Same vibe, same software stack - but now on modern hardware. And yes, RemoteAccess still connects at 57600bps when a telnet RING comes in :)
    It is still far from finished and I got lucky and I managed to find some of the original ANSI art from back in the day.
    Sound Alliance WHQ! Making Noise since '95
    Remote Access responding to Syncterm/Telnet!
    I actually got a telnet to remote access bridge to function properly today! The '90's vibe, but newer
    It's not an exact copy - but it feels like home again.
    Still a lot to do. Front door doesn't work yet. If I get that up and running I want to attempt to create a echomail to Discord bridge and try to bring Chaosnet ( 57:x ) back to life.
    Would love to hear from others still running (or resurrecting) their boards! Sysop! Brain. submitted by /u/CBJ_Brain [link] [comments]
