I personally know all three sysadmins for the websites (and the webmasters
of the last two sites run BBSes themselves). Synchronet is a very
actively sup****ted and developed BBS software for Windows and *NIX, so
that's active. The Telnet BBS List (@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
) is a list of telnet BBSes
that run all types of BBS software.

little 1GB USB drive and have set up a "****table office" on it, using
software that I can take with me to work. I sleep 12-14 hours each day,
so I don't use my home computer that much, but I need all of my software
with me. I'm using Sylpheed for email/NNTP, iFTP for FTP, Opera/USB for
HHTP...I also have Virtual Pascal 2.1 on here and need to restore my TP7
image from tape (yes, tape) to put on here so I can start developing my
doors again.
I've been attempting to setup a programming environment on my 512k USB
drive - it would be an emulator, but I haven't decided which emulator,
so I haven't gotten very far.
So there are some nights, the quiet ones, where I am completely bored
- just surfing, reading Usenet, that sort of thing. Then there are
nights like this past week where the pager just won't shut up, and
everything goes wrong.
As for sleep, what is that? I usually get about 2-4 hours sleep in the
morning, and then another 3 in the evening...
