Well, you've got until 2038 anyway.

The 2038 failure date only relates to Unix-like operating systems which use 32 bit date/time stamp. No DOS versions or variants use this type of format
Any Y2K-compliant DOS will function properly until the year 2100. At that point, the date related system calls will fail since 2099 is the last possib valid date.

I thought they would last until 2080.
Doesn't "Year 0" for MS-DOS start at 1980?

Cool! I'll be dead by then. And if not, I'll jump off a cliff. :-)

Luckily, all cyber personality devices used to transfer consciousness
to the Matrix will run on Linux by 2100 and not DOS.
Nope, sorry, but that won't come until the year 4250. And by that time,Luckily, all cyber personality devices used to transfer consciousness to the Matrix will run on Linux by 2100 and not DOS.But, will they have my perfect-body-robot ready to import my

Nope, sorry, but that won't come until the year 4250. And by that
time, The Matrix will run on Windows Server 4200. So unfortuantely, you'll be crashing every 23.5 seconds.

Quoting Digital Man to Wall E. Weasel <=-
A *lot* of DOS software uses the C/C+ time() function with a 32-bit
signed time value (seconds since Jan-1-1970 GMT) which *will* fail in
the year 2038. This includes Synchronet for DOS and *many* other BBS-related programs written in C or C++. --

I'll be 71 in the year 2038. Hopefully someone will fix the DOS bug
by then. I'm sure many are working on it. LOL I know. I'm just kidding. :-)
Hello Everyone! I'm new to BBS - wanted to try it out, given I've heard a bit from podcasts and websites. Not sure what I'm doing, but want to learn.
Any guidance would be great - Thanks!

Same here. :-) I remember the old days of posting/reading. I used to
play some games too, but that was when it was actually local, and not
just Internet. :-)

Oh my, you mean I'm not the only one that remembers the 'old days'? Oh boy.
Someone want to help me find a corner of the house to set up my 1040STe in ?

You'll have to find out who your local telco provider is to get a landline made active. Depending on the BBS, you'll need long distance calling, and that could get expensive.

Ya... that's not exactly happening. I know the local telco, they're the one I pulled out one of the Courier's I decommissioned 10+ years ago from Cisco
Lines were cruddy where I'm at too. I'd average 31.6k. No cable, no fiber, no DSL, No WISP.
