In the file transfer section of Cottonwood BBS, I have a a few directories for VIC-20 software. There's a few programs there now, but I could really use everyone's help here to add new programs. If you have programs that you're able to share, please do so!

What software are you running? Any VIC-20 support? Borderline BBS is running All American BBS v11.6b software on a C64. No, there's no direct VIC-20 support, but the message bulletin section does have a Commodore Forum that's open for discussion on all Commodore computers. :) (Somewhat related: is ...

After a few years of downtime, as of today, Borderline BBS has returned as the world's only dial-up BBS running on a C64! So dust off your modem and give it a call! The new number is 1-951-652-1690. Running 24/7 at 2400 baud. It's a truly 80s telecommunications experience!

Sorry, I can't be much help there because I've never used an iPad... But you'll probably need to install a standard Telnet terminal program and connect with ASCII-only.

After a little over 3 years of downtime, Cottonwood BBS is now back up and running!

Check it out at the following Telnet address (port 23):

Running on a real Commodore 64c with Color 64 v7.36 software!

I updated the link in my original post to the correct URL, so it should work again now.

Very sad.

Rest in Peace, Jack.

There's a nice lot of VIC items on eBay right now... With a $899.95 Buy It Now price, it's out of my price range, but I thought I'd post the link in case someone here is interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290695948427 Included in the lot is an early VIC-20 with "PET keys" and a VIC-1540 (...

Frank, changing the device number on a 1541 drive is pretty easy, but you're right, the 1541 manual doesn't exactly make it very clear on how it's done. You may find these instructions a bit clearer:

Nice one, Jeff.

I was wondering, "Does the U.S. District Court really have nothing better to do???"

ral-clan, did you ever solve this mystery? I have an old Sears Hockey-Pong system that I'd love to set up with composite video instead of having to use the game-TV switch box.

I just added a new way to connect to both Cottonwood BBS and Cottonwood II. You can now connect from a web browser with FlashTerm. This is a great way to connect that does not require any additional software to be installed other than a flash-capable browser, perfect for when you're using a public c...

Thanks for that tip, rhurst!

Nice! I have problems to register with Swedish phonenumber. I get Invalid number. Just register any phone number in the format xxx-xxx-xxxx ... it doesn't really matter what number you use, as long as you remember what number you put. AA BBS uses the phone number as a backup ID, in the event that y...

For the past few years, I've been running what has been, for most of that time, the only Commodore-run dial-up BBS anywhere in the world. Borderline BBS has been running on a C64 in my home in southern California, and while it has never received a huge volume of calls, it has had calls from all over...
