The Basement BBS was originally online from 1986 – 1998. The version that you can now telnet to was pieced together with backup floppy disks from 1990-1993. The BBS includes restored messages/message bases from 1990-1993, some restored file sections, 21 online games, and lots of customization. For best results, log in with an Atari 8-bit or a telnet client that supports ATASCII (Atari Mode). One such client is Syncterm. Syncterm is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS/X, etc. You can download Syncterm here.
The Basement’s telnet address is: basementbbs.ddns.net port: 9000.
If you rather not use a telnet client, then you can log in using a web client available at: www.sfhqbbs.org/telnet-basement.php
Note: The web client below does not work with The Basement. You need to use the aforementioned web client.
Update: Our web page is now available at http://basementbbs.ddns.net:7000/.
is it answering

nothing has answered since .
one mark a dial, oldest first — green answered, red did not. 64 kept, since ; the directory calls every board every night and remembers six months of them.

their screens
no picture before login, only text: shown whole, as a caller meets it, and never cut into a tile. every screen this board has drawn for a caller before login — 1 so far, since . a board that changes its welcome art keeps every screen here; one we stop meeting on our regular calls is let go after three visits and six months. the art belongs to its sysop and its artists.
