Fidonet Bulletin Board System (BBS) Video Telnet Tour

Fidonet BBS Telnet Tour Video. See how we connected by dial up modem to send messages worldwide before the net went public.

Take a trip back in time to see how we communicated long before the internet became mainstream. Back to the days when we thought 56k Modems were FAST!

Doc’s Place BBS offers the complete Fidonet Messaging Backbone. Surf on in with your favorite web browser and read and reply to messages online, or download a QWK packet and read and reply offline to the messages.

Or to see the BBS just like the old timers did, connect via Telnet. Note our telnet service has moved to Port 26. See this announcement for details.

Here is a link to the Telnet BBS Guide that has over 300 BBSs listed that are still active. You can check out Doc’s Place BBS via Web Browser Here. 😉

    Sounds like trump he can’t get logged on to the internet. Why because his voice rattles. He can’t remember his log in screen name, or passwords. He’s told so many lies to us he can’t keep them straightened in his air head he calls his brain. He’s so bad if I told him to his face I loved him he would call me a liar. Why because he tells everyone that everyone’s a liar but him. That. Trump is a good, honorable, trusting, and brave. In the mirror when. He sees himself. He yells at himself cause he thinks he’s a liar.. just like everyone else he calls a liar. But in my eyes, my mirror, my mind, tells every inch of my heart, and soul says hes a liar too. WHY ? CAUSE HE IS A LIAR. A THIEF. And all that I am not. A LIAR.
    Trump has a head, and brain full of air. Making Trump a “AIR HEAD “. Why because for over 900 days he’s proven that fact day and day out.
    When he loses in 2020 he’ll still be calling people of this USA all liars. In Trumps eyes he can do no wrong.
    Wake up people. That picture above this text showed a rally trump had. But what they aren’t telling you it’s a old one from the ending of 2016. And it’s a fake.
