For those interested in a snapshot of the way
BBS's were 21 years ago,
point
your telnet client at landover.no-ip.com
This bangs me out of putty with haste.
Does the server accept telnet on the standard port?

Just FYI, the system doesn't seem to "hang up" the line properly when
you
log out. Great job though!
Yeah - working on that :(

I just jumped in from a gnome-terminal session on a modern Linux box,
and since it's missing the line-drawing chars, things looked a little
funny, but I was able to get around.
I did notice the lack-of-hangup problem (had to escape from Telnet
and use 'exit'), plus a wee K2K bug...
"Last call : 05-Mar-108"
Got that right after "signing up".
Fun to poke around, though. Thanks for putting it online.

Yup, one of the limitations with the software I'm afraid, but I am in
contact with the author, so who know what may eventuate ? :)
Fun to poke around, though. Thanks for putting it
online.
I'm also in the middle of restoring my ancient Amiga filebase from back
then, some of the stuff isn't around on the net anymore, so may be of
interest to someone.

Yes, please do put it online.
Anything relating to AMOS Basic or assembler coding would be great for me. I'm helping
a mate with the AMOS side of a new Amiga website. I have loads of Amiga projects at the
"in progress" stage :)
Also, I just learned how Bezier curves work (still don't understand the actual
equation on the Wiki pages though!), but writing the code in AMOS Basic will probably be
slow. Does anyone have any pointers of how to code it in assembler?

There's a bit of both already restored.

Computers love Beziers because it's all shifts and adds. Stare at the
equations a little longer.

Long live fixed point math. :)
I can think at least one problem that I know that needs exact calculations
and lots and lots of tiny numbers.
