As for Renegade, it did get passed on to another programmer who made it Y2K compatible, but since then, I haven't seen any public releases. I ran the new Renegade version (termed Y2Ka2 for Y2K alpha 2) until March of this year, when I turned to a more active BBS software being developed called Synchronet (http://www.synchro.net). Synchronet works well with Win2k, too. Don't know about Renegade. You can telnet to my BBS to see Synchronet in the works at telnet://midnightstar.dns2go.com
www.thedirectory.org will list you all the known telnettable BBSes in the world. It is updated monthly after verification.... my BBS is telnetable to midnightstar.dns2go.com , and I carry LORD, BRE, and other games including InterBBS Global Wars. Solar Realms unfortunately didn't get past the Y2k compatibility.
I must say, it is a great pleasure to see an effort of providing a memory for BBSes. A friend of mine showed me your site, as both rendentions of my BBS while dial-up was mentioned. What doesn't say is if any of these BBSes are still alive and kicking. I know that in the (913) area code, two BBSes still thrive, tho you can no longer dial up directly to them with a 56k speed modem or slower. I am one of those BBSes. Midnight Star BBS went down on dial-up in 1998, but in October 2000 after obtaining Cable Modem and decent computers, it is back up for people to telnet into. Along with Midnight Star, there is also the Santiarium kicking alive and well. You can get numbers to various BBSes that have been around for a long time and even new ones still by going to http://www.thedirectory.org.. listed is the Telnet BBS list that's updated monthly.
Midnight Star can be reached by telnetting to midnightstar.dns2go.com, using an ANSI compatible Telnet program such as MTEL. The website for Midnight Star is http://home.kc.rr.com/ladywolfstorm.. I used to run Remote Access and then Renegade (tho I believe it was Renegade when I went public), but now I run Synchronet. I could sit down and verify who is still around and who isn't, but that's just too much of my time.
