==PCBoard after CDC==

Sysops continued to use PCBoard around the world, even after support by CDC stopped when the company went out of business. Help was available from many individuals who created tools and documentation for the PCBoard system.

The company did not exist anymore when the [[Year 2000 problem]], also known as the Y2K problem or millennium bug, made headline news. However, PCBoard only had a few minor problems with the year 2000 (and 2001) and fixes were made available by several individuals.<ref>[http://ue.untergrund.net/ue/PCB2K.HTM PCB Y2K patches] collection of patches from various sources</ref>

The last full release version of PCBoard, version 15.3, never really caught on and most systems that were online after 1997 continued to use the previous 15.2x versions of the software.

PCBoard is still in use today by nostalgic BBS fans. There is a freeware [[FOSSIL]] [[device driver|driver]] called [[NetFoss]] which allows PCBoard to be accessible via [[telnet]] under Windows. There was also a DOS-based PCBoard add-on "PCB Internet Collection" which allowed telnet access by installing a (DOS-only) packet driver.
