The BBS Directory has been upgraded with in-browser terminal connections for every listed BBS, not just the featured ones.

What Changed

  • Every BBS in the directory now has a "Connect" button. Click it to open a terminal window right in a modal -- no telnet client or separate page needed.
  • "Hosted BBS Connections" has been renamed to "6502ish Featured BBSes" to better reflect the premium listing tier.
  • Featured BBSes now also launch in the modal terminal instead of navigating to a separate page.

How It Works

  1. Click the Connect button next to any BBS listing
  2. A terminal modal opens and connects via our WebSocket-to-telnet bridge
  3. The terminal supports ANSI, PETSCII, Amiga, and Atari ATASCII display modes
  4. Close the modal or press Escape to disconnect

You must be logged in to connect. The terminal uses the same proven infrastructure that powers our door games system.

For BBS Sysops
