  • BBS list for RetroNet sup

    From blakespot@FREEWAY to All on Sun Jun 2 16:09:00 2019
    I want to use my Amigas and Tandy 1000 to BBS and interact with RetroNet. I
    am having issues with "doorway mode" arrow-key menus on some SynchroNet BBS that carry RetroNet. I want to try each one and see what I can actually navigate on the old machines. Any that don't run SynchroNet out there?

    I have a few programs that support "doorway mode" on the Tandy, and they
    allow me to navigate the menus of some BBS when I turn on that mode, but not every BBS (while modern SyncTerm works with every BBS but is not for vintage systems).

    Thanks

    Reign of Fire BBS is located in Wisconsin, but the Dial-Up
    number is a Tennessee Area Code that hooks you up with the same BBS.

    Why? Why not just use a Wisconsin phone number?
