Would You Ever Head Back To Dial-Up? > I miss wildcat

I miss wildcat

I use to run my BBS with Wildcat! v4.20ML10. I miss those days.

Why not resurrect the ol' BBS? Most VoIP lines can handle a 56k connection (I've tested this on a v92 w/v44 modem). I did have to switch to Synchronet since Wildcat's upgrade is ridiculously expensive.

Plus, the speed increase with v.44 made one hell of a difference, even at 33.6kbps. It was definitely worth it.

I'm using a pair of ActionTec EX560LKU USB Modems on my BBS. Very friendly with Linux and runs decent. If lines get even cheaper, I might invest in a v.44 modem pool.

I just hope we can eventually get $5-10 incoming lines..

I ran a WWIV based BBS. I miss chatting with my users and having user meets. Met some really good people that I'm still friends with to this day.
