I realize that this is a very old thread, but I thought that I'd offer some related information:

The Macintosh-based Armageddon BBS -- which still uses the Hermes II BBS software -- is still operating after all these years. Here are the details for anyone who may still be interested in some of this older technology:

Armageddon BBS website: http://www.armageddonbbs.com

Telnet to the actual Armageddon BBS at any of these:

202.128.4.177
bbs.armageddonbbs.com
armageddonbbs.com

Use the standard telnet port 23

And on a related note -- since it is also more or less a BBS, but with a Mac GUI -- the "Armageddon RETRO Server" -- which is a Mac-centric Hotline server which began during the late 1990s has also been back online for perhaps a year. Here are its details: 

Armageddon RETRO Server - 202.128.4.177 (the above domains may also work)

Use the default Hotline port of 5500 to log on to the server.

NOTE: Don't enter a login name or password in the "Connect" window.

If you need a Hotline client, there are links for Mac Classic users, Mac OS X Intel users, and Windows users on the bottom of all pages of the Armageddon BBS website, as noted above.
