I know these things have been covered before, but I was looking at 2600, Volume Forty, Number One, and saw a nifty, on-topic letter:

Dear 2600:
At the time when I wrote the article on the BBS scene (39:4), I wasn't really familiar with one service that is truly amazing. It is called 2600.netw3ork, a service from a gentleman named Flex. It offers ten phone lines that can be called up which will redirect to various BBSes in the scene. There is no cost to this - all you need is a POTS line and a modem; it will also work on VoIP modems that use an uncompressed codec. I found this to be wholly amazing and figured that I'd add that update.

P.S. There is also a new website promoting the BBS scene. We've made our very own BBS Day (on the anniversary of the initial call to a computerized bulletin board system). You can reach it at www.bbsday.org. Thanks for printing this information. Cheers!

We're both thrilled and inspired by this enthusiasm and appreciation of history.
