PLEASE READ (27 Sept 2026)
For several months I have not been my usual responsive self to applications for new node numbers etc. and I am sorry and apologise for this.
In Feb of 2026 my wife and I signed up with a builder to build our dream home. The project went bad and life became very stressful. We have only just sorted getting out of the deal and now working on getting our home built with another vendor.
This has taken up a lot of my energy and zapped enjoyment from several hobbies. But as I type this it feels like there may be a light at the end of the tunnel now - so that's good.
I plan to slowly work my way back through past applications to see if there is still an interest from folks wanting a node number. I also need to tidy up the nodelist and cull inactive/defunct systems. I will do this in small steps over the weeks and months ahead.
Updates will be posted to history.txt as I move along the path of getting things in order. If you need a node number quickly I suggest heading to clrghouz.bbs.dege.au
Kind regards, Avon.
Introducing fsxNet
fsxNet is a fun, simple and experimental network established in late 2015
fsxNet is not a prescriptive network. e[X]perimentation is at heart of its name and members are actively encouraged to be creative in their use of the network. A limited number of message areas and file bases are used - setup is quick and [S]imple.
Technologies covered by the network include (but are not limited to) BBSing, ANSI art, Amateur (HAM) Radio, Retro / Vintage Computers & Gaming, FTN communications, network protocols & topologies, encryption methods, contemporary computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi), computer coding and more.
fsxNet sees a number of messages posted to it every week. It is an active support network for several developers of BBS software spanning BBS systems, door games and more.
fsxNet is not an invite-only closed network, rather it is an open community and everyone who wishes to join is welcome.
Do you find it [F]un to learn about and use retro computing technologies? Would you like to be part of a group that enjoy experimenting and developing those technologies further? If the answer is yes, then we invite you to join us :)
