Okay, "Bombs Away" week is officially over at the DarkForce! BBS.

I hope everyone had fun with it. At best, it's a light hearted attempt at
humor for our callers. At worst, it can drive you crazy.

I'd like to thank everyone who (willingly or UN-willingly) participated.

Until next year, "ka-boom".

PS Oh, here's a screenshot showing the obituary and what happened to
those who failed to defuse their bombs. :)

Hey gang - meant to get things squared away for this month/next month
but wound up (for lack of time) going on vacation first. Hotel's 'net service
is okay, but for some reason telnet sucks. Timed out after 30 seconds on
my first try, literally would enter text and things would set there a while
before sending.

Anyway, will be home this weekend and will get everything taken care of.

Thanks for being patient! :)

Never tried it with Chrome - always just went with a command prompt, where you literally type in:

telnet darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org 520

HTHs.
