How to Connect to the BBS

BBS Software relies on special text mode 16-color ANSI graphics and is best viewed with specialized software. The Undercurrents BBS website hosts a web-based ANSI terminal that runs in your browser and connects over Secure WebSockets to provide a secure and easy to use interface. Alternatively you can connect directly over SSH or Telnet using the below software.

• SSL
  • https://undercurrents.io
  • Direct BBS Terminal link
• SSH
  • ssh://bbs.undercurrents.io:8086 (SSH with username 'new' to register)
  • MagiTerm (win/lin/osx) and EtherTerm (win/lin/osx) are SSH-capable ANSI terminals
  • Unicode RXVT isn't as pretty but you can export TERM=ansi then SSH
• Telnet
  • telnet://bbs.undercurrents.io:8088
  • SyncTerm (win/lin/osx) and Netrunner (win/lin) are telnet ANSI terminals
