  • Dial-Up Challenge: USA to German BBS

    From Snobsoft@VERT/PARTYBOW to All on Wed May 21 11:47:54 2025
    My latest video turned out a bit longer - almost feature-length! So grab some snacks...
    Together, we'll rebuild the 40-year-old C64 BBS Snobsoft from the ground up in the living room, where I have a better filming setup, showing every last detail like never before.
    The living room also provides the perfect setting to demonstrate when Snobsoft user Droidmike attempts to call from Ohio, USA, to Hamburg, Germany, using a C64 dial-up connection - testing whether such an old-school 4,000-mile phone link can still work in today's space-age fiber-optic VoIP world.
    Mikey is also filming on his end in the USA, inviting you into his retro room in Ohio to showcase the wild hardware he uses for this experiment. Among other things, you'll get to see his 'Paper Terminal,' which he runs alongside his Commodore 1650 modem.

    What a great video! I started modem use AFTER I sold my C64. I started
    within the IBM frame, but this was so interesting! Great job to both of
    you.

    Hats off to you for keeping SS going.

    Thank you for this interesting content!

    Vielen Dank!
