Is this a "telnet-able" bbs?

It's 20 years later and I still remember all of my Lost Realms MUD characters. I made a lot of friends on this BBS. Not sure if it kick-started or stunted my social growth, but it was defining and memorable. My first girlfriend (and kiss) came from this group. We had quite a few meetups around Minneapolis and the Twin Cities organized by "King". I guess Brad McDowell did the programming. It inspired me to open my own Biohazard BBS for a few years until dad needed his fax line back. What a trip!
