Important details and FAQ Answers
- I don't think Inside the Atari 8-bit second line is active, but left there
since it is off and on.
- Dark Forces is not currenlty up, but will be VERY soon.
- Some of these BBS's like Boot Factory will output character in a strange
order when you type. This is a strange echo effect over telnet that needs to be
ironed out eventually. However, you can read fine, and if you just type away,
the output will look normal on the other side. it is only messed up on your
side of the screen.
- The Prison Board BBS that runs the Atari Gateway can run as low as 300 baud,
however, it will take about 45 minutes to get past the intro screens. We are
currently working on this.
- The Prison Board BBS has a dialup line in addition to telnet access at 972
329 0781
- The Prison Board BBS is considering adding Atari Newsgroups as well as making
areas for other computer enthusiasts such as Commodore and others.
