I remember calling both ANSI color and C64 "Color 64" BBS's that used PETSCII graphics. Apparently there are PETSCII terminal programs for macOS, etc.. I'll have to check that out. color64.com

BBS ANSI graphics used some IBM PC "Code Page 437" graphics characters. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_pa...

Here's a Color 64 BBS you can telnet to, and apparently there was also a "Supra 128" BBS that I assume was similar, but 80-column text instead of 40-column? color64.com

Instead of ANSI gfx, the BBS sends/receives PETSCII, with upper/lowercase reversed from ASCII, plus color & block graphics.

🥰 I once ran a BBS on my C64 with a 1200 baud modem. Color64 software. Good times.

I used a 300 bps acoustically coupled modem that you had to periodically shake the phone's handset because the carbon in it would settle and muffle the speaker. Color64 BBSes run on Commodore 64 were my favorite, their games were the best.
