[GreenKeys] Vintage Bulletin Board Service

[steve bennett]

 I use voip.ms as a voice over IP service provider. Not free but very affordable.Look at some of the Asterisk groups for ideas on connecting hardware.ATAs (Analog Telephone Adaptors) can be found cheap.
I think there may be special considerations for getting a fax or modem to work over VOIP.I have never done it but I think it's possible.

 I’ve also been interested in playing with dialup again. (Hated in back then!) Though in these modern times, I have no dial service at all to my house. 
Has anyone kludged together any sort of FXO apparatus to some inexpensive or free service to get dial-out ability over Internet?
I have a pile of 56K external modems that I’ve been rescuing from e-waste, I’m going to be wanting to find them new homes later this year. 
Dan, as I mentioned, some will be heading your way!
Thanks,Jason WA6BBQ

Greetings All,I have just got a vintage Panasonic Data Terminal up and running and am able to copy ITTY via an PK 232 modem. (Converts 45.5 baud to ASCII)
I'd like to try the terminal (built in modem, modular jacks) via the telephone. I see there are a number of folks hosting vintage BBS systems but most are online and seem to be graphics orientated.Does anyone know of a dial-up BBS that can just communicate in basic ASCII? My terminal is both screen and print capable.Alternatively, is there any list member(s) who communicates this way?Suggestions appreciated.
Keith
