To login to Monochrome, click on the 'connect' link above to access all the options for connecting. Once you have connected, login as user: mono, then enter your account name at the Account: prompt. If you do not have an account, use 'guest' as the account name.Conventions
Throughout Monochrome, the following conventions are used for navigation:Square brackets denote individual keypresses. Thus [S][I] means that you should press the S key followed by the I key.
[^X] means Control-X - press them at the same time.
Angle brackets denote keypaths, generally from the Main Menu. Thus "go to &lt;IHU&gt;" means that you should go to the Main Menu (type [ESC][G]), then type [I][H][U] to go to the file or menu in question. A '^' in keypaths is often used to denote [ESCAPE], for instance, &lt;^Y&gt;.
Help
The bottom of the screen shows the most commonly used options. You can press [?] to see the help. If you need more help than that, press [C] to continue on in the help text or go to &lt;IH&gt; within Monochrome.</a></label><br><a href="https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_011f6e315d3744d498d93f6fa0d9b5ee/qotoorg/media_attachments/files/111/341/631/302/974/687/original/5f3a1cb6765788c9.png" rel="external">https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_011f6e315d3744d498d93f6fa0d9b5ee/qotoorg/media_attachments/files/111/341/631/302/974/687/original/5f3a1cb6765788c9.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/2170996">Putty SSH terminal showing the Message of the Day for someone logging on as a guest user.

Monochrome (www.mono.org) is a #TelnetBBS which is still active after over 30 years.
Giving it a little boost here to see if there's interest. So if you were a fan of the #BBS and the communities that they fostered, have a look.
