The bulletin boards of the 1980s haven’t died out quite yet, but they have gone online. There’s only a handful of BBSes (bulletin board systems) that you can dial up with your old-time modem.
If you like the idea of accessing an internet-based BBS from your Atari ST, Amiga, or BBC Micro, then we can use a Raspberry Pi computer to act as a translator. You can even use modern services like Twitter! All we need to do is get Raspberry Pi talking in one of the most popular communications protocols of all time: RS232.
