So far this year has offered some exciting new updates. We have Three new DDial's connected to our network: Tanelorn NYC, Hard Drive Cafe and DenDial (see Active DDial's below for more info).
Magviz has also been working on an additional linking system to supplement Cotosnet; still in Beta mode but up and running and coming along nicely with auto relinking.
We have also heard some whisperings of a forthcoming new system based on STS but a whole lot more exctiing; when we know more, we'll let ya know =)
--> ACTIVE DDIALS & STS's
There are currently 10 platforms that are online and active, including original vintage systems, telnet systems, and web accessible systems. All platforms with the Icon are permanently linked togther, which means logging into any one of them connects you with ALL of them for group chat.
A modern new take on the original DDial, STS and GTalk platforms. Single click web access including mobile devices, Magviz offers a fresh approach while still keeping the classic barebones style available for the "old schoolers". Three multi player games, a BBS style discussion board, two integrated Retro IRC/MRC channels, a SubChannel panel and a whole host of new and fun commands.

Congratulations Den, this is a piece of Art.
Retro-Dial is a telnet-accessable chat server based on the Diversi-Dial system created by Bill Basham in the early 1980's. The look and feel of Retro-Dial is almost exactly the same as D-Dial, as are many of the commands, although some command structures have been changed and some new functionality added. R-Dial is also completely link compatible with D-Dial.
