Alterant is a BBS running on a Raspberry Pi under Docker.

If you would like to explore BBS, Echomail and Netmail without having to setup a BBS for yourself, you are welcome to connect to mine.

Just press the *Connect* button below, and create an account. The first time you login you'll have limited abilities, but send me a note and I'll upgrade you so that you can use the Echomail and Netmail areas.

There is some useful terminal emulation software available on the Net.

I'm a MAC user so I use [SyncTERM](http://syncterm.bbsdev.net) - it works a treat!
