    [+] Lots of message bases with posts from some very interesting people.

    New! Retro Usenet feed - read Usenet as if it was 1983. Serving up 20 message bases.
    More upon request.

    New! Usenet feed. Only Commodore 128 BBS with Usenet. Reading Usenet via phosphur is the only way to do it.


    Runs PETSCII, ANSI, ASCII, 40 columns, 80 columns so connect with whatever you want.

    Speaking of connecting, connect from the website at http://www.particles.org if you don't have a terminal.


    Useless Hardware Info:
    ======================

    Running on a Commodore 128D w/640K of RAM (which is enough for anyone)
    Ports open at 38,400 so it flies. Ever seen an 8-bit transfer at 38.4K? Holy crap.
    This is done with the magic of a Swiftlink RS232 adapter.
    Punter, Multipunter, Ymodem, Xmodem xfers. Find one you like.
    4GB CMD SCSI drive running off a Compact Flash card using a SCSI to CF adapter. Fast. For 8-bit.
