    Hi,

    I could use telnet to login
    to some bulletin board system BBS

    But that is as far as I can go
    I dont know how to use it

    Do you think any tutorial available

    What are the potential uses of BBS

    These system are hosted using Dial Up internet

    Regards.

    BBS systems are cool. Some have lots of well organized subject matter on various things of interest. They can usually post to usenet, fido and
    others. When you first log in, there is typically a brief welcome to
    point towards help and navigation. Read it and you'll get along better.

    They also have links to other BBS systems. There are quite a few still running out there. I used to run a GAP BBS (IBM, DEC & CDC fans) myself.

    There is a pretty cool BBS in Gemini space, where your own posts appear
    in user spaces and you can create also your own sub spaces there. It has already plenty of interesting sub spaces.
