You need a modem to access any BBS. Note that ideally you  should  use
an  ANSI  (VT100)  terminal  emulator (for example, PROCOMM) with your
serial port set to 8-bit data, NO parity check, and ONE stop bit.  The
US BBS runs at up to 9600 baud while the UK BBS runs at  up  to  14400
baud. Download protocols supported are X,Y, and Z modem.

The BBS is an open system so anyone can login.  When  you  login,  the
system  prompts  you for your name.  If you are a new user, the system
asks if you have spelt your name correctly and then prompts you for  a
password.   As  a  new user, the system asks you a series of questions
including acknowledgement of the Madge BBS license  agreement.   These
only  occur  on  your  first login, therefore, answer as accurately as
possible. The BBS includes full online help.
