    Since others are posting AI slop to the echoes now...

    SYNCHRONET BBS SOFTWARE PRESENTS A COLLECTION OF FUNCTIONAL CHALLENGES
    THAT CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS BOTH PERSISTENT AND DISCONCERTING IN THEIR STRUCTURAL COMPLEXITY

    Well at least their AI bot wasn't yelling at them. Did you use some AI
    that is hosted by Truth? :D

    Are there any active Citadel BBSes, with web interfaces, online?

    I don't know if this system is still operational, but there was a
    system:
    bbs.iscabbs.com
    I don't know if it had or has a web interface, but until a couple of
    months ago I was able to login to it with telnet.

    Thanks, I will check that out!

    I told ChatGPT to be annoying, overly wordy and use all capitals.

    I know I've told this story multiple times, but my company ended up with a $400 phone bill because the lead developer set it up to poll every 10 minutes.

    Well I haven't heard the story! I can't believe the guy didn't listen to your idea. I remember running up my parents phone bill. Let me just say the outcome was a pink rear end!

    I had a telco broker who had some interesting ideas. He suggested I purchase call forward on busy service for the hub. It was $3/month. Set the call forward busy destination to the number in the toll area. Set the hub to call "itself". The line was busy, naturally, and forwarded to the destination for essentially a penny a call.

    Now that sir, is a crafty idea! Our phone company would charge long distance for a call to the next county.
