  • CommodoreNet & RetroNet. FTN's

    Has anyone ever seen these two FTN's during your BBS travels?

    I'm a huge Commodore and RetroComputer fan and just applied for access to have available on my BBS.

    The main hub seems to be at ROFBBS.

    Seems cool to give it a try.

    I have heard of them. I don't know anything about them at all though. I wish I was smart enough to dabble with fido-like nets. I am going to eventually set hobbyspace up to allow fido tossing.

    I just got them working and gained about 3k in messages. Once you figure out how to setup an FTN once, it's not bad going forward.

    Setting up a bbs to be a FTN node isn't too bad once you do it a couple
    of times and get the hang of it.
    The real fun begins when you decide you want to be a hub for other
    systems.

    yeah i am going to end up making hobbyspace it's own hub, for fido tossers. That way other boards can join besides mystic and synchronet. Those are the only two I know of that use qwk networks like that. Which is a real shame. It's the easiest to setup and it works exactly the same, just without all the complicated node numbers and stuff.
