    From Daryl Stout@VERT/TBOLTBBS to Dthomasdigital on Tue Jan 27 22:11:57 2026
    KF5HSY here and just wanted to say hello to the HAMS, working
    on a new project and thought I's say hello. Working on getting
    a BBS setup and one day getting it radio ready, so hello.

    Greetings from N5VLZ in Arkansas.

    Packet BBSes are usually a bit different from 'dialup' BBSes.
    Usually just run on a TNC but sometimes on a PC, with very
    short and minimal menus and features.

    The NS2B BBS in Penfield, New York, has both RF and telnet access,
    and they have a weekly packet net most Monday evenings.

    Cool.
    I haven't really ever connected to a bbs over the air waves.
    I suspect I'd have to do something like packet over hf or something
    since vhf is short range.

    Back in the1970's on 2Meters 3or 4 local Amateure had teletype BBS's each on different frequencies that other hams could sign on to.
    They were using RTTY (Radio Teletype).
    I had a Video Terminal and could sign on those BBS'sor just read what was on the frequency when others used it.
