Resources and features

Gopher

BodaX BBS is present in gopherspace at gopher://bbs.beardy.se:8070/1, you can read some of the message bases, user’s phlogs, and explore other gopherholes from within the BBS. If you do not have a gopher capable browser (personally I prefer Lynx) you can check it out through Floodgap’s proxy.

Message networks

The system is connected to several FidoNet style message networks:

  • fsxNet – fsxNet is a fun, simple and experimental network that uses Fido Technology Networking to communicate between connected Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).
  • tqwNet – A network based on having fun, while being respectful and helpful to each other.

Games

There are several locally hosted games, the board is also connected to several door game servers which runs a vast number of games. You can also play Nethack on nethack.alt.org and Telehack from BodaX BBS, both connected with SSH.
