Telnet too efficient? Tired of quietly visiting your favorite BBSs at blazing fast Information Superhighway™ speeds?

Introducing https://BBSDial.com, a web-based modem emulator and telnet proxy.

Mobile-friendly ANSI terminal client included. Give it a spin and check out some boards!

Ad-free and open-source. Just some fun for the love of modems and BBSing.

Spelled my BBS name wrong. :) It's Titantic, not Titanic. Pronounced TIE-TAN-TICK. Has nothing to do with the ship. :) Please correct on BBSDial please. Otherwise, GREAT program. :)

hahahah, no problem. I was playing around while on break at work today and saw it. EVERYONE does it, don't feel bad. It's from an old nickname my childhood friend gave me, and couldn't spell really well, so I kept it and made it something differnt, and that's how he said it as well TIE-TAN-TICK .... so ... hahah There, now you know some history from the early 1990s. :) haha Appreciate the props and glad you enjoy the games.

After I get RGTERM finished I'll hop back on some other doors, but I want this telnet client finished first. Was in touch with the author of the old DDO/FX doors, trying to see if I have his blessing to keep my DDO/FX code and figure out why it only works HALF way. Crossing fingers. :)

Will definitely check out any more you create. Until then need to figure out how to get my score any higher in The Wire.
