BBS Banner is An Actively maintained Banner Exchange program for Bulletin Board systems.
The purpose of this site is to give bbs enthusiasts a free service to show their systems.
This service is different than the few BBS Banner sites we have available:
* Users can provide a web OR telnet link on their banners
* Banner size is slightly larger than other available banner exchange sites, and accepts most image formats
* Banner does not have a watermark from the bbs banner site on the user's banner image.

Hi all. Just giving a heads up about a project I've been working on, FlashTem.
It's a flash telnet terminal that I plan to release for free. Right now I'm
beta testing it with some select boards. You can check out the demo at
www.flashterm.com.

From Frank Linhares (http://tech.nocr.at/about/) :
"I did what most people called me crazy for doing, created my own irc network.
irc.bbs-scene.org will hopefully grow up to be a great place for everyone who
enjoys that bbs scene to hang out (although anyone can setup a channel about
anything, it's not limited to the bbs scene).
It's currently running on two dedicated servers each on their own gigabit pipe,
so stability and speed won't be a problem. We are always looking for more
leafs or hubs to join, or people who want to help out and be an OP. If your
I have a special project I am working on. I need a web designer or two, and a php programmer or two.
If youre interested, please email me at mike@lordlegacy.com
"People have been using computers for social communication since the very beginning of the personal computer industry. Long before the Internet became accessible to the general public, people were hosting BBS systems, many of them focused on an interest group or local community."

Nice to see that big corperations are thinking about BBS's as the answer to there communications. Good Read. (Someone needs to add in a comment spam filter though)
"In the mid-80s, I was a BBS junkie. BBS is short for Bulletin Board System. It was a terminal program hosted on computers over analog phone lines. It was primitive, slow, and often frustrating, with plenty of dropped connections and busy signals. It was non-graphical, text-based. By the late 1980s, I had an internet email account, surfed gopherspace, participated in message boards, and read newsgroups, thanks to an ISP in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
