    Particles! BBS
    ==============

    http://www.particles.org, telnet://particlesbbs.dyndns.org:6400, telnet://particlesbbs.hopto.org:6400

    Been around since 1992... which is like, an eternity in computer-time.

    What Is It?
    ===========

    It's a BBS running Centipede on a Commodore 128, supporting all Commodore computers or anyone who wants to check it out.

    [+] 1000s of files for the Commodore 64, Vic-20, 128, Plus/4, CP/M and GEOS [+] Over 90 file areas so far, still adding more
    [+] 60+ online games (Empire, Nuke'Em, tons more)
    [+] Lots of message bases

    Useless Hardware Info:
    ======================

    Running on a Commodore 128D w/640K of RAM (which is enough for anyone)
    Ports open at 38,400 so it flies. Ever seen an 8-bit transfer at 38.4K? Holy crap.
    4GB CMD SCSI drive running off a Compact Flash card. Fast. For 8-bit.
    Runs PETSCII, ANSI, ASCII so connect with whatever you want.

    Speaking of connecting, connect from the website at http://www.particles.org if
    you don't have a terminal.
