Welcome to the Dragonet Gaming BBS System!
The Dragonet BBS is a BBS resting on a mound of tradition. I
started my first BBS over 10 years ago, using Telegard on a 286 with a 14.4
modem. Worry not, times have changed. Dragonet is a 10 node system running
the latest Synchronet BBS Software over a telnet connection. (I also threw
the 286 into oncoming traffic YEARS ago.)
Now that you know that bit of useless trivia...what exactly
is a BBS? Short for Bulletin Board System, a BBS was used back in the
pre-internet days to communicate. Message boards, files, and games were all
a part of a (good) BBS. When the internet came along, having 10 phone lines
and 10 modems was no longer worth it. (Specially considering how much time
it takes for Qwest to install *one* phone line.) This soon changed with the
advent of telnetable BBS software.
Because modern times took over, the BBS era died, but has
received a new comeback. People miss their games! Games like Legend of the
Red Dragon, Barren Realms Elite and Falcon's Eye, not to mention hundreds of
other games. Try to beat the game, the computer, or other players. It can
get downright nasty!
So now that you know what a BBS is, I suppose you want to
connect. Well, before you do.....please visit the Connecting link to your
