Hi All, just a note to advertise my ownniche BBS based over here in the UK. Itis a Videotex system and it's called
the Night Owl BBS. It runs on a BBC
Master computer via TCPSER and there
are dialup gateways to it also. There
is plenty info on accessing on the
TELNET BBS guide ..It is a very retro
system and colourful with lots of
readin matter, articles and ART
features. I have recently learned the
newest version of Syncterm now caters
for Videotex so it's very easy to use
this for all your BBSing.

for Syncterm
https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm/

nightowlbbs.ddns.net:6400 2400 baud

there is a weblink available if you'd
prefer to view that way at

https//:vd-view.azurewebsites.net

the BBS runs in evening hours only but
that should suit those in North Americato some degree.

Hope to see you visit .. thanks

Night Owl Sysop�(Brian)

I bring up the Host around 7pm GMT
usually and it runs till the early
hours, usally around 6am. With North
America east coast being 5 hours behindthat'd be from about 2pm-1am so stil counts as evening for those in the
East. Westerly places I suppose
couldn't describe it as an evenings
only BBS, more of late morning-
afternoon, sorta thing. Would welcome avisit from you , sincerely Brian

Curious, what would make you do such a schedule, in this internet-age?
That used to be done so as to not tie up the phone lines, but... you
don't have internet access 24 hours a day?

You should fix this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fun fact, my BBS is named Nite Eyes because it started as a part time BBS running at night.

Currently up 24/7 now though haha.

where are you based ? 6pm your time could be anything from 5 to 10 hours behindme? If you can logon at 6pm that would likely be the early hours for me, while
I'm asleep. Thats not an issue. If you are definitely interested to try it out I will make sure it is up for you. Just let me know.
