The Telnet/Dial-Up BBS Guide - January 2025
--------------------------------------------

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2025 from the Telnet BBS Guide!

Our 28th Anniversary!

The Telnet BBS Guide is now 28 years old as of October 2024!

Dial-up any BBS on the Telnet BBS Guide!

A relatively new service (not run by
the BBS Corner or Telnet BBS Guide)
called the 2600 Network allows anyone with
a modem to call any BBS on the Telnet BBS
Guide. Check out their site at
https://2600.network

We need articles for both the BBS Corner &
Telnet BBS Guide!

Are you a BBS Sysop or BBS developer? We're
looking for articles for our BBS websites.
If you want to write an article or submit an
idea for an article, please contact us and
we'll work on it!

Visit the BRAND NEW BBS Corner!

After two years of struggling to update the
BBS Corner website, the new site debuted on
October 10, 2022. Please give it a visit at

Distro List for Telnet BBS Guide moved to Groups.io

As of February 2019, the monthly distribution list
of the Telnet BBS Guide has moved to Groups.io. If
you wish to subscribe to the new mailing list, please
sign up at the following location:

https://groups.io/g/telnetbbsguide/

As of September 2024, those on the Group.io distribution
will only get text files and no longer will get the
full distribution because Gmail and other mail systems
are blocking the Emails. 

Notes for BBS Sysops:

We are aware that some of you are moving your BBSes to a non-
standard port from the default telnet port number (23). If you
do move to a non-standard port, please either update your listing
or let us know and we'll update your listing for you. Remember,
we do verify your BBS listing several times a month. If it is not in
operation, we will mark it down. We will wait for 30 days.
If it's still down, we will delete it from the database. So,
please keep your listing updated if you do indeed make
any address changes. Thanks!

And of course, if your listing is already there, please "claim"
your listing. Add an account and then claim it. I will allow you
to edit your own listing. DO NOT create a new listing if your
BBS already exists. That makes more work for me!

Finally, when you sign up as a new user to either add or edit
your BBS listing, please enter your first or last name in the
signup information. Otherwise your listing may not be accepted.
Thanks!

Thanks, and continue to enjoy the ride!
