Now that Google , FB wants to trap us and control every aspect of the Internet browsing, Is it even possible to break free.

Or creating new Internet is a unrealistic idea ?

    This time over telnet.

    telnet is an insecure protocol. Ideally you should use ssh instead but most which some modern BBS’s support both. Of course if you want to dial in on legacy “authentic” hardware then SSH isn’t possible.

    💡You can SSH (or telnet) from your phone using Termux and it works pretty well (though admittedly not as good without full ANSI support). It doesn’t use full height of screen but is still usable. BBS’s could be enhanced to support that though.

    Here’s an example of how one looks on my phone:

    ssh NEW@bbs.bottomlessabyss.net -p 2222 -c aes256-cbc

      In my part of the BBS-world telnet is the only option. I’m a C64 guy, and a TCP stack is memory hungry enough for 64k of RAM.

      But yes, encrypt when available.

      I really like Termius for SSH on Android (dunno if it’s on iOS). I use it for all my servers.
