Macintosh-based BBSes Accessible Via Telnet
===========================================

Last Updated: November 12, 2026


Tragically, the online landscape for telnet-accessible, true
Macintosh-based and Macintosh-centric BBSes appears to be
quite dismal indeed compared to the plethora of Windows and
DOS-based systems.

To qualify as a real Macintosh-based BBS, the BBS must meet
the following primary criteria:

	a. The BBS must run on some type of Macintosh computer.

	b. The BBS must also run on some type of Macintosh BBS
	software, such as Hermes 4 -- or an earlier version --
	for example.

	c. The BBS must concentrate on Macintosh software and
	Mac discussions, although the BBS obviously does not
	need to be limited to these alone.

If you are aware of any Mac-based BBSes which meet these
criteria, please advise Bill Kochman, the SysOp of the
Armageddon BBS, in the following manner:

	a. Log on to the Armageddon BBS at
	armageddonbbs.net:2300.

	b. Upon arriving at the Main Menu, typing an M for Mail.

	c. Next, type a C to compose a private message to Bill.

	d. In the "To" field, simply type "Bill Kochman",
	without the quote marks.

	e. Type out your private message to Bill.

	f. Send your message to Bill by typing /s at the end of
	your message on a new line.

	g. You are done. Thank you very much for helping to
	support and propagate Macintosh BBSing.
