Connection help

Visit the board with a Telnet-capable terminal client. If you already have one configured, launch it below.

Connect in three steps

1. Open a Telnet client.

   Use a terminal application that supports BBS connections. A regular browser tab cannot display a Telnet session.

2. Create a connection.

   Choose Telnet as the connection type and enter davesbbs.com as the host address.

3. Follow the board's prompts.

   Enter account details only inside your BBS client. This website does not collect BBS usernames or passwords.

If the link does nothing

Your device may have no application assigned to Telnet links. Open your client directly and enter the address above. If connecting fails, check the address and your network, then try again later. This page does not report live BBS availability.

Telnet is unencrypted, including account details and messages. Avoid using a password that you use for other services.
