Savage Frontier

Verrrry cool! Ah, the nostalgia...how well I remember those early BBSes.

I got my first modem in 1993, and ohmigosh I was SO excited! This was right after we'd gotten back from our honeymoon and I *totally* neglected the poor bridegroom as soon as I had a list of BBSes in my hands.

Even after we had the Internet and web browsers, for a couple years I had to use telnet to access our local library system. Could use some BBSes that way too, instead of direct dial-up.

But I get it - I've seen emulators that make it SEEM like you're accessing one of the old BBS systems, and this is the real thing. Neat!

And yes, I used to have an Apple II...actually mine was a IIc, which was supposed to be portable! HAhaha!

Sorry for posing on here at such a later time and date in reguards to "The Savage Frontier DDial". I know that when it boils down to the technology behind the DDial which is simply not somthing commonly used in our everyday life. I grew up on it back in the mid 80's till probably the beginning of 1991 and fading away probably around 1993.

Anyways speaking of which, from this time and date i post this message i am linked with "The Savage Frontier DDial" 24/7 with a custom coded in (C) language RetroDial v1.0b on a "Linux Platform" with all information that can be read over at http://www.digitaldial.us

I know it is an old technology, but i got to give lots of credit to Mouse for doing such a project on his DDial for his brilliant code of the "HuntGroup Software" he did an excellent job and his chat is very stable and in good working order.

DDial was very fun and exciting and i really enjoyed it, still do in present day, it was and still is a geek utopia. perhaps i can conjure up some old schoolers and some new schoolers willing to participate on some good ole chatter on these nostalgic type of chats!
