Bulletin Board System

C64C128The C64U has the capability to host and connect a wp>bulletin board system. This is an online service that is mostly forgotten and predates the internet. Many bulletin board systems include a message board, real-time IRC-like caht capabilities, online games, and a file repository.

The only thing you can do online with this computer is to connect to a BBS, as the C64U lacks the ability to browse webpages, connect to other FTP servers, download torrents, or anything else associated with today's online services.

The BBS software is included in the 'The Very Second' software bundle.

If you want to connect to a BBS on other devices you need a client;
