Welcome

                                    BeeBS
    BeeBS is a BBS hosted for the Acorn BBC Micro series of computers,
    affectionately known in the UK as the Beeb. It is designed to support
    Mode 7 teletext graphics via terminal, but also supports 80 column
    ANSI and 40 column ASCII making it idea for older hardware to connect
    to.

    In 2023 BeeBS was running on my Acorn BBC Master 128 using a heavily
    modified version of OBBS written by Rob O'Donnell in 1984. Features
    were added to provide full Mode 7 frames, message attachments,
    external Doors, ANSI support, enabling use with TcpSer and Hard Drive
    access.

    In 2024 I moved over to Synchronet which I had modded to add Mode 7
    support. Whilst having more features than you could ever wish to use
    Synchronet just wasn't the right fit for me so in 2025 I wrote a new
    BBS server using Python which, for me, is a spiritual successor to
    OBBS using a similar logic and structure.
