Sometimes you just have to go full old school. Connecting to AMIS XE over ASCII, just like BITD. No fancy stuff, the glow of a monitor, modem hum, and a wall of text menus. Calling out on real iron: Atari Mega ST2 + Hayes Tattler

You know the story before the web, there was the BBS — blazing 300 baud modems, Atascii, ASCII & ANSI art, door games, file transfers, and message bases buzzing. Now it’s back, of course faster, and covered as a column for COMPUTE!’s Gazette. #RetroComputing #BBSing #ComputeGazette
Before torrents, before FTP, before high-speed — we had #Xmodem, Express! Term, and a whole lot of watching this screen..
