    Located on the Western Pacific island of Guam, Armageddon BBS is one
    of the few remaining BBSes running Hermes II BBS software on a
    Macintosh.

    If you are interested in any of this hard-to-find software, or in any
    of our many Bible-related files, or simply want to chat, or post
    messages in our many message conferences, please visit us today!

    To log onto the Armageddon BBS, simply use your favorite telnet
    client. If you are a Mac OSX user, and can afford it, we suggest that
    you try out ZOC. It currently runs at $100. If you prefer a free
    telnet client, then we suggest the latest version of SyncTERM. Yes, it
    is clunky and Windowish-looking, but it is the best free telnet client
    out there for displaying real BBS ANSI graphics on a Mac OSX system.

    If you are still using Classic Mac, then the best deal is using the
    Public Address BBS software in telnet mode. If you don't have it, we
    have a special stripped down version available on our BBS.

    So what are you waiting for? Come and check us out today! To access
    the Armageddon BBS via a telnet client, please go to:

    endtimeprophecy.org (port 23)

    We also offer a web access page with a java interface at the following
    URL. However, please note that the telnet client interface is much
    better than the web-based interface, being as the latter relies upon a
    terminal java applet with less user control:

    Hoping you will visit us soon,
