The Cottonwood BBS, perhaps <em> the last<\/em> dial-up only BBS running on authentic Commodore hardware (feel free to correct me on this!), is now up and accepting callers at 1-951-242-3593.  Andrew also posted a comment about his BBS on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagecomputing.com\/index.php\/archives\/161#comments\" target=\"_blank\">another VC&#038;G post<\/a>, which I have reproduced below:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nWell, after a bit of a delay, Cottonwood BBS is now back up and operational! As it turns out, the 1200 baud modem wasn&#8217;t the problem, but instead it was the VoIP line I was trying to run the BBS on. I had to switch back to a regular phone line in order to get good results. The 2400 baud modem I tried to used wasn&#8217;t working well, so I&#8217;m back to where I started on the 1200 baud modem.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You can call Cottonwood BBS at (951) 242-3593. Open 24 hours a day, running at 300\/1200 baud. For more information on the BBS, or to get some tips on connecting, check out the following website:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hometown.aol.com\/cottonwoodbbs\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/hometown.aol.com\/cottonwoodbbs\/<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds awesome, doesn&#8217;t it?  Be sure to check out his website to pick up a copy of C64Term for the best Commodore BBS experience for PC users.  I haven&#8217;t made a call yet, but I plan on it when I get the chance.  If you give it a call, please let us know how you liked it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Wiskow emailed me today with news that his long-planned Commodore dial-up BBS&#8217;s return to glory is now complete.
