  • Hello from a Mac Classic

    From Diskkun to All on Tue Dec 30 15:37:10 2025
    Hi all,
    Not really sure what I'm doing right now, still getting used to the interface of Synchronet's message system. But I am calling from the GTA, ON, Canada on a 1990 Macintosh Classic running System Software 6.0.8. My terminal software is NCSA Telnet v. 2.6, to answer the poll from a few days ago (not sure how to reply yet).
    I'm a 20 year old Game Design student who's been collecting old computer and gaming stuff for years now. I've logged onto Synchronet via modern terminal to play LORD years back, but I hope my usage of this BBS will be more frequent now.
    Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this message. Happy New Year!

    Cool. If you can get a gopher client for System6, you can
    fetch:

    gopher://magical.fish
    gopher://sdf.org
    gopher://synchro.net
    gopher://bitreich.org/1/lawn

    Also, via IRC, you can join the servers from

    http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/servers.html

    And then, by joining the "&bitlbee" channel (not a typo,
    it's &bitlbee ). and then by running
    the 'plugins' commmand you will be able to check
    which protocols can you use with an account
    in that server. The usage it's odd but it will
    expand your capabilities for system6 greatly.
