I used to love BBSes. I found this.

All I could figure out is that it may be accessible by telnet ?

How would I contact it ?

One good thing about high oil prices is that it has increased public transportation use.

This reminds me of the era when the Internet had actual usual information. Before America Online destroyed it.
