I'm impressed and I want to check out out. But after a few moments of
thought, I realized that no personal machine that I own has a modem on
it or in it anymore. Then I remembered that my work laptop has an
integrated modem, but I can't remember the last time I used it.
Even when I did up a modem I'm going to have to arrange long distance
service for my land line again. I dropped it when cell phones invaded
the house.
Wow .. from being a BBS junkie in the mid 1980s to not being able to
dial one now. I'm going to have to get some prepaid long distance cards
to start my habit again. ;-0

I'd like to let you folks know about a new BBS I just put online.
The Old Data Citadel, 253-875-1281.
The system is an H-89 running CP/M 2.2 and Citadel v2.10 with a Hayes
Smartmodem 300. Blow the dust off those modems and give 'er a ring.
For those that don't know, Citadel is the progenitor of all room systems
that came after, such as Stonehenge, Dragcit, IronHenge, Citadel-86, etc.
The version of Citadel I'm running was the first public release and was
actually written on an H-89 which is why I chose that system for the
host platform.
Many thanks to Tony for providing the information I needed to chase down
the wiring error I had in the machine.
Thanks all!
