Bruce,
Since I've known you for god knows how long, let me provide a better explanation:
One of my friends managed to get one of the first chat BBS systems that ran in the Philadelphia Area, Savage Frontier, running again, this time on the Internet. This BBS originally ran on an Apple ][e. Mike (aka Mouse) managed to rewrite portions of a Linux Apple ][ emulator so that it can emulate the hardware required to run the chat software.
Since some of the older Cellar users also called there (and I know of here because of there), I figured to post it here.
You can telnet to chat.thesavagefrontier.com on port 9000, or if you need further explanation, go to
http://www.diginexuswiki.com/savagef...ruserguide.pdf to download the user's guide, which has instructions for Windows 2000/XP, Vista, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, and Mac OS X.
Thanks,
Mitch
