Alterant is a BBS running on a Raspberry Pi under Docker.

If you would like to explore BBS, Echomail and Netmail without having to setup a BBS for yourself, you are welcome to connect to mine.

Just press the *Connect* button below, and create an account. The first time you login you'll have limited abilities, but send me a note and I'll upgrade you so that you can use the Echomail and Netmail areas.
<div id="fTelnetContainer" class="fTelnetContainer zoomTarget" data-targetsize="0.9"></div>
<script>document.write('<script src="//embed-v2.ftelnet.ca/js/ftelnet-loader.norip.xfer.js?v=' + (new Date()).getTime() + '"><\/script>');</script>
<script>
    var Options = new fTelnetOptions();
    Options.BareLFtoCRLF = false;
    Options.BitsPerSecond = 57600;
    Options.ConnectionType = 'telnet';
    Options.Emulation = 'ansi-bbs';
    Options.Enter = '\r';
    Options.Font = 'CP437';
    Options.ForceWss = true;
    Options.Hostname = 'alterant.bbs.dege.au';
    Options.LocalEcho = false;
    Options.Port = 443;
    Options.ProxyHostname = '';
    Options.ProxyPort = 80;
    Options.ProxyPortSecure = 443;
    Options.ScreenColumns = 80;
    Options.ScreenRows = 25;
    Options.WebSocketUrlPath = '/ws/alterant/23';
    Options.SplashScreen = '[encoded data, 4764 characters]';
    var fTelnet = new fTelnetClient('fTelnetContainer', Options);
</script>

There is some useful terminal emulation software available on the Net.

I'm a MAC user so I use [SyncTERM](http://syncterm.bbsdev.net) - it works a treat!
