Once I could see it inline, I could view all my glorious 256 color, dithered GIF porn AS IT DOWNLOADED! My personal favorite BBS was called Cheez and Gritz, run by a friend of a friend of a friend. All the pirated software and porn a teenager in the early 90s could want.

Ah yes... the "elite" boards. I remember I would eventually get to know sysops pretty well and ask them if they have an elite section. If he/she trusted me enough, I would be granted those rights. It was the best feeling in the world! Man, I really miss those days.

What BBS dialup software did you guys use? I mostly used a program called Telemate i think. And Telix. Man, I wish I had my old computer so I can boot it up and go through all my old stuff. I still have all my old floppies from way back though.

I still have my old machine downstairs with Telix and ProComm Plus on it. I doubt any boards I have listed are still active, though.

We should form a Former Sysops Coalition... hahaha, that would be great. This also reminds of of the time I was on one of those elite boards and came across a zip file with a bunch of computer viruses and I downloaded it and put them on a floppy disk. I wrote "computer virues" in big letters on the floppy disk and show it to my friend. He ran away because he thought his computer would get infected if he even touched the disk... LOL... I also remember a time I gave another friend a floppy disk with a game on it and I wrote a batch file that looked like it was formatting his HD. He freaked out when he ran it. LOL... Ah, those were the days.

I printed out the whole manual for Remote Admin 2.0, that thing was huuuge

Made a ton of initialization strings.

Worked with sysops all over the word helping them optimize their modems.

Set up Prodigy Modem banks, then AOL Modem bank commands.

Ah the fun days.

Did you design a custom modem for Jimi Hendrix? It was known as the Purple Hayes. :laugh:

Err....

When did they make 5 1/3 disks?

 

[AMDZen]

Heck yea, I was on all the underground ones. Denver Area

Sanatarium and TDH (The Dog House) were the two I can really remember as being the best, although I was on quite a few of them.

About the same time they made 700 baud modems.

I ran a board called eMi in the Chicagoland area about 10 years ago. It was run on my crappy Packard Bell computer using Renegade BBS software. It was mainly a scene board, with Artpacks, Musicpacks, Demo's and all that fun stuff. I was a hub for groups such as SKiSM, Space Invaders, and other Art/Music groups. One time I got hacked and the kid did a format on my drive. I was able to recover most of it from a simple unformat, but even so it was some good times.

 

[GoPackGo]

My small hometown had at least 3 BBS'.

I knew one of the guys that ran one of them. In the mid 90s, he had so many cdroms hooked up via SCSI that he used all of the drive letters.

Anyone remember those moutain multi-disc cd changers? he had like 4 of them.

Full of CDs, Full of guess what?

"What memories your page just brought back!! I ran True Colors BBS for six years, under two numbers since I moved during that time. New number became 305-595-0313. Running a BBS was the coolest experience of my life. It meant staying up late making changes to the system, trying to find new ways of attracting callers and of course meeting the most amazing people. Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night,looking at your computer screen and seeing someone typing an email. Was like you were never alone. People that use the internet now have little idea of the BBS world that existed. The knowledge and experience I gained through running a BBS has stayed with me and furthered my career in information technology." - Michael Robert

"This was the 5th BBS to open in Miami and eventually became the last one which did not require a password. It ran the Communitree software on an Apple ][ with 280K of floppy storage. The program was all in RAM so the floppies were entirely available for (compressed) messages and the index. There was nothing to break in to, all the messages were available, so there was no real security need for passwords. Another feature was the fairwitnesses, people with passwords, who could hide messages they thought were inappropriate. The messages were still available to the persistent hackers until I deleted them. After a few years Bob Scheel took over as sysop and eventually ported the concept to different hardware." - David Landowne

(1981-1985) Bill Vermillion CONNECTION-80
"I put up the first 24x7 BBS in Orlando on July 1, 1981. The software was called Connection-80. I was listed the hardbound book that listed all the BBS in the US that came out sometime after I brought my BBS up.
"I'm a pack-rat so somewhere I still have the original TBBS manuals, and even have my first computer, the old original Radio Shack Model I that I got in 1977 - two days after Christmas after a 3 month wait. It was the 4th Radio Shack computer sold in Orlando.

"That became the orignal BBS machine. The Connection 80 software would hold only about 80 or so messages. The TBBS used a database type approach to store message and capacity went way up. I then moved to 80-track double density drives with the TBBS software and that was 360K per drive and I could keep a great many more message on line.

"When I moved it to the Max80 with the 8" DSDD floppy drives with 1.2MB per disk things got better and faster. Limits like that seem quaint in today's world.

"I moved to TBBS - and serial number as recall ws 23, with the first 10 being reservered and were for local testing in the Denver area. I ordered TBBS to be shipped when it was released. I got it and had one file missing and they set it up for transfer. I was up and running before the hour was out. Dave Ebert at the company said I was the first TBBS East of the Mississippi and may have been the first up and running outside their test machines in the Denver area. I later gave up TBBS and moved to a BBS on a Radio Shack 16 written in BASIC that I bought, and then in a couple of months moved to be a usenet leaf, and shortly thereafter a node. At it's peak I was in the top-500 sites monthly - and that was in the days when the full usenet feed was not too large. When the daily feed when to 100MB/day I dropped the alt.binaries, and finally all the alt groups." - Bill Vermillion

"The Psycho Ward was started by me in 1987 using GBBS II on a Franklin Ace 1000 (Apple clone).... and upgraded to a PC in 1989 using The Major BBS from Galacticomm (I wrote several online games for them), after which a second line was added (305-749-3637). It remained a two-line BBS for several years, until I finally took it down to "move on with my life". The major focus of The Psycho Ward was an RPG based on the Transformers cartoon, but there were other discussion areas and RPGs (such as AD&D and Wrestling), and it was a proving ground for many of the games I wrote." - Psycho Murdoctor

I used to use several in the early 90s, but Prostar, The ISLAND, and Highline are the only ones I remember the name of.. I've have to take the time to scroll through and see what else I remember...

300 baud FTW. Still have to connect to some equipment at work using a dialup modem and terminal. Fun stuff. "Come on I just need the voltage!" as it's slowly spitting out a bunch of data.

Even back when i was 10 years old and was a 2 finger typer i still remember waiting for the terminal to catch up to my typing when using 300 baud...lord that was was painfully slow.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Cant you just macro it to auto poll?

For that particular system we already have devices that do that but sometimes they get hung up or w/e and you have to dial in to check. Sometimes the act of dialing in fixes the issue too. Typically the dialup stuff is a last resort if all the main ways of getting into a system don't work.

 

[rudder]

Ran a 4 node BBS called Datastorm which was a U.S. headquarters for some Swedish hacking group. I can say this now because the statute of limitations has passed and the Amiga has long since died,

I remember getting tons of calls from AT&T saying someone was using a stolen callng card to my numbers. Back in the day the Europeans would go through a phonebook and use social engineering to get calling card info and would then wrack up thousands of dollars of long distance bills on those cards.

 

[Red Squirrel]

We should make an ATOT BBS.

I found some modems!

 

[bononos]

I threw out all my old modems because of the clutter. The only old rj11 modem I have left is a usb one which will probably never get used.
