Does anyone know of a dial up BBS in the U.S. that will still connect
at 300 baud (yes, I said "baud" :-) ? I've got an old Tandy 600 and
am trying to see if I can get it to connect to a BBS. My luck so far
has been that it attempts to connect and then it aborts. I'm guessing that
not too many modern modems would connect at 300bps.
Until a few months ago I used to run one on a VOIP line but it was too flaky.
Now I use the same VOIP line for outgoing calls (works better for some reason)
to a local non-profit ISP. This ISP not only offers PPP but shell accounts.
So I can use my Model 4 to dial the shell account (once logged in it puts you
into the Lynx browser) and then from there telnet to any telnetable BBS.
The ISP is called Chebucto Community Net (www.chebucto.ns.ca) and is based out
of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Obviously that'll be long distance for you but maybe
you have a good long distance plan. Or maybe there is a similar non-profit
ISP in your area. See http://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html for a long list of
telnettable BBSes.

Doug
