CCC Event BBS

@RolandRides@mastodon.social @c3isdn@chaos.social There was a conversation with Ray about this; I don't hae high hopes on how realitsic it is to port 1990s OS/2 C++ code to modern C++ on Linux, but at least he has heard about that idea now.

@RolandRides@mastodon.social I spoke to ray yesterday and it seems he was not aware of @c3isdn@chaos.social and hence did not bring any equipment. He also cannot turn on his BBS remotely, otherwise we could have configured a telnet forward from the RAS server.

@RolandRides@mastodon.social sadly we've been busy for many days building the @c3isdn@chaos.social (EWSD exchange, SDH transport network, V5 access network) and are now slowly moving up the stack in terrms of services. I doubt there will be much time for doors that are unrelated to CCC (like chaospost), sorry.

The BBSs listsed at the
#38C3 ISDN/PSTN phonebook are now all reachable at the indicated numbers. Now that the access network and the RAS server are configured, we can try to get more doors/services at the C3BBS working. Please do try to dial up some of the BBSs! #retronetworking https://osmocom.org/projects/retronetworking/wiki/38C3_Phonebook

We now have #38C3 badges: One for BBS logins via IP and another one for dial-up via actual Modem or ISDN using the @c3isdn@chaos.social network on-site. The latter is not yet possible a the network is still being built. The badge for IP based login to the BBS is available already now: You can find the ANSI-BBS QR code for the badge in the Text file section of C3BBS. #BBS #retronetworking

@mischk@bunt.social indeed, a configuration error. only affected retro-IP (IPv4); IPv6 was running throughout the night. Should now be fixed.

Only one late night shift later, C3BBS is now also reachable via gopher, NNTP and even the browser based telnet client at https://c3bbs.retronetworking.org/ @c3isdn@chaos.social #38C3 #retronetworking

lol. @certbund@social.bund.de has just notified us that operating a telnet service is insecure. Kind of funny for a project that intentionally operates ancient networking protocols and systems (like C3BBS) as a museum ;) - Not a complaint, just ironic in this specific case.. #retronetworking @c3isdn@chaos.social

In case anyone is interested in creating CCC related #ANSI artwork for C3BBS: Pesthoernchen and Chaosknoten (for 80x24 terminals) would be great, fro a start. #followerpoer #38C3. Synchronet also supports RIP, in case somebody wants to create #CCC related RIP graphics, please let us know!
