For some more nostalgia, check out:

  http://telehack.com/
"Telehack is a simulation of a stylized arpanet/usenet, circa 1985-1990. It is a full multi-user simulation, including 25,000 hosts and BBS's from the early net, thousands of files from the era, a collection of adventure and IF games, a working BASIC interpreter with a library of programs to run, simulated historical users, and more.*

"You can telnet directly to Telehack on the regular telnet port of 23.

"Open a command shell and type

telnet telehack.com

"See http://telehack.com/telehack.html for more information."

Funny, yesterday I was there, I was curious about playing Vicious Cycles over telnet and some BSD 4.3 machine under Simh (yes, I have it under OpenBSD and Frotz too, but I was just having fun :) ).
