Reminisce with The BBS Documentary, viewable online [here] (http://archive.org/details/BBS.The.Documentary).

Find one of hundreds of BBSes running today using the lists found at The Telnet BBS Guide, BBS Guide or IPTIA BBS Resource Site.

You will want to use a proper BBS compatible terminal to get the full experience: SyncTERM ^win,mac,lin , Netrunner ^win/lin or mTelnet ^win,os2

Find oodles of software, text files, and people at the The BBS Archives and The BBS Corner.

Create your own BBS with DayDream, EleBBS, Maximus, ENIGMA½, Mystic BBS, Renegade, Synchronet, or x/84.

fTelnet and HtmlTerm are Flash and HTML 5 telnet clients for access to BBSes via the web should you decide to start your own BBS.

Break Into Chat WIKI - The Break Into Chat wiki was created to preserve the history of these and other BBS door games, after editors on Wikipedia began deleting door game articles.

If you are a SysOp or if you want your favorite BBS/Resource in the sidebar drop one of the mods a line and one will check it out. Please give the complete telnet address of the BBS so we can login.
