Also you're a bitch if you play it in browser, because if you use a terminal you can adjust the baud rate to get the authentic 300 baud rate 1980's experience.
For those of you that don't know, all the BBSes, robot users, hosts, text files, and games are all archival material. The guy that made this "game" did a really neat thing in using all this old archival software/text and integrated it into a hacking game. It's fun shit, try it. It feels more authentic to me reading old Usenet posts in a terminal compared to looking at Google Groups archives.

Seems interesting, any tips to start?

read the initial text files, especially telehack.txt which gives you a primer. type netstat to see which hosts you can connect to from the home host. telnet into other hosts, use ftp to download exe files like porthack.exe to look for vulnerable ports on these hosts and gain account privileges. i'm still working on finding hosts that someone hasn't rooted yet so i can use the oskit and rootkit exploit exes i have to take over something. basically, just get familiar with the commands, if you're familiar with unix command line programs/input it's the same stuff but simplified. read the text files for fun, play games, and try to hack shit. if you get stuck someone might help you in relay. type ? for a list of commands.

Is it possible to connect to dial-up BBS with a cell phone? I can hear the modem when I call them.
>>62485326
You can, but you are going to get a very slow speed because of sound compressing and decompressing in cell phone networks. What's acceptable for voice isn't acceptable for modem connection.
>you use a terminal you can adjust the baud rate
I guess I'm too young to understand that.
