BBSes are available via telnet, Web and dialup-just depends on what you're
looking for.  Might I suggest looking at the Telnet BBS Guide
(http://www.telnetbbsguide.com) or if you like Synchronet check out the
updated-nightly Synchronet BBS List at http://www.synchro.net/bbslist.html?
Both are good places to find boards.  There is also a well-maintained
dialup BBS list at the Telnet BBS Guide's website somewhere also.

Another interesting place is http://www.bbsfinder.com.  That is a
"real-time" BBS list.  BBSes run a little program that
"reports" to the main BBSFinder server every five minutes to tell
the server that they're "alive".  I use the service for my system
as do many other people and it's a good way to find active boards.

Some of the much older software is broken, but 99% of the boards you'll
connect to today have the Y2K problem fixed.

 GJ> I'm sure I'll have a few more questions if that's okay...

You're more than welcome to ask. :)
