ABOUT RETRO-DIAL

Retro-Dial is a telnet-accessable chat server based on the Diversi-Dial system created by Bill Basham in the early 1980's. D-Dial was an Apple //e "CB Simulator" with which sysops could host simultanious chat between up to 7 users via multiple phone lines and modems. Sysops could also use one or more of their lines to connect to other D-Dial stations and "link" them together so people on two or more D-Dial stations could chat together. D-Dial was popular from around the mid-80's to the mid-90's and was a precursor for many of the later chat networks such as IRC. The look and feel of Retro-Dial is almost exactly the same as D-Dial, as are many of the commands, although some command structure has been changed and some new functionality added. R-Dial is also completely link compatible with D-Dial.
