Getting Connected to BBS Systems |
If you are new to BBS systems, here are instructions and software to help get you connected to BBS systems in your town and around the world.
- Dial-Up Terminal Software
Traditional BBS systems are accessed via
regular telephone lines over analog modems - the same way people dial
their Internet provider. However, this requires "Terminal
Software". Below are examples of Terminal Software for DOS and
Windows platforms.
Telix for DOS
Telix is one of more common brands of Terminal Software
Note - Telix for DOS will work in Windows 95/98/2000/XP if you have a regular (non-Winmodem) modem installed.
Telix for Windows
Telix also has a Windows version for Windows 3.1/95/98/2000/XP, etc.

- Telnet Client Software
Telnet BBS systems require the use of a Telnet Client software. This software allows you to interact with a BBS system across the Internet. Though we list several brands of Telnet Client software, we strongly recommend mTelnet since it has a lot of features and is freeware.
Various Telnet Clients for Windows
mTelnet (Highly recommended!)
Various Telnet Clients for Macintosh
The Mac Orchard (various Telnet clients for the Mac)
