German language BBS, but you can switch to English after logging in (even as guest).
History: The BBS was accessible 24/7 via a dial-up connection from 1991 to 1994. It ran on an Atari 520 STM and a ZyXEL U-1496E. The days of 24/7 are unfortunately over, but the BBS goes online again on special occasions.
Today: The BBS is usually accessible 24 hours a day during the Christmas season, between the first Sunday of Advent and the Sunday after Epiphany (January 6th). It still runs on a real Atari, a MegaSTE with a WiModem232Pro.
Operation is not via menus, but via a GeoNET-like command interface.

their screens
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.
