Hi all,

After a lot of trial and error I managed to get a telnet accessible Warp
Six BBS operational using a Platinum //e, a Rasberry Pi (running tcpser),
and a USB to serial converter. Surprisingly the whole darn thing worked by
just plugging the serial converter directly into the //e's super serial
card. A CFFA 3000 is used for disk storage.

You can connect to the board by visiting matrixreturns.dyndns.org on port
6401. Just like the old days it can only take one caller at a time. My //e
lacks a clock so it doesn't enforce time limits at the moment :).

I recommend using syncterm as a client on a Mac or PC.

I'll try to keep it running as long as the hardware holds out and there's
interest.  Hope to see you!

I think I've accidentally crashed your board. I was testing out file transfer using SyncTERM, but its YMODEM function doesn't appear to be compatible with the batch YMODEM function of the board; the transfer timed out on my end, but it seems to be stuck in a waiting loop on your end, and your board won't respond any longer.

Sorry about that.
