It‘s 2025, copper wires that provide a telephone line don‘t exist anymore. It‘s mostly fibre optics connection here in germany.

Why in the world should one set up a landline on his Bulletin Board System?
(a digital information that is modulated to some squeaking noise, digitized and sent around the globe digitally, then analogized into the noise again and demodulized by some other modem and sent to a computer that wants to know whats going on in Frankfurt).

Well. I found my brothers old 56K modem, connected it to my Raspi that is running my BBS, and after 1 h trying, I was able to let the BBS answer incommung calls.

Problem: I have no idea if its working, as I do not have a 2nd modem to check it.

So if you are reading this and you have an old computer connected to a modem, please call

to confirm that this bvs is working.
