    Does anyone know about how to join Retronet? or other network dedicated
    to retrocomputing?

    I pull from Castle Rock BBS - I don't know if Black Panther is accepting new nodes, but I'm sure an email to him @ Castle Rock BBS wouldn't hurt....

    Lemme grab the addy for you:

    Hallo Augusto,

    Does anyone know about how to join Retronet? or other network dedicated
    to retrocomputing?

    That's a question I had also asked myself...

    All my tries to apply for RetroNet haven't been successful. I tried
    mailing the application form to the mail address given in the infopack,
    but without any success.
    I also filled out an online application form in a BBS (don't remember
    which one it was, sorry), also no success.
    So I gave up on this one...

    Besides, I don't know a retrocomputing network, sorry.

    But in fsxNet, there probably will be a retrocomputing echo soon, as it is one of the points in the recent user survey.

    Regards,
    Anna

    Or you can pick up a QWK feed off me, as I am the official QWK hub for RetroNet. QWK is self service these days, provided you answer "Yes" to using the account for QWK networking.
