(1980-1998) Kelvin Krastel | Maximus |
"I started on the Commodore 64 with a 300 baud modem running 64Exchange (I think). Then upgraded to a 1200 Baud modem when they were bleeding edge! Cost me a ton o money back then. Then into an IBM XT (4.77Mhz - Rocking!) and I can't remember the software package I used on the XT but I do remember getting my first 386 and the first thing to go on it was RBBS. A bitch to configure but it was very nice and stable (A MUST back then). Then on to GENESIS as a beta tester, then GENESIS Deluxe. Finally finding the most flexible package I'd ever seen in a BBS package called Maximus. I recall it had it's own programming language inside it based on C and Pascal and some other languages. MEX I believe it was. Anyway I ran that for the final years until the Internet came along. Thank God for that! Kelvin Krastel. Kelvin at Krastel dot com." - Kevin Krastel

(1981-1999) Victor Laking | Magpie
, TriBBS, Homemade |
"Generic BBS first ran on a C=64 with a homemade program that was adapted from a Coco BBS that was running at the time. 300 BAUD modem ($800+ for 1200 BAUD at the time...) Later it switched to an IBM using TriBBS and a 2400 BAUD modem. One of the main goals for the system was to be as simple to use and friendly conversations. Generic BBS was also home to the most comprehensive and accurate BBS list available at the time." - Victor Laking

"Wow, what a blast from the past - I ran a google on my own name when they bragged they had doubled their index size and noticed your listing for my BBSes, thanks for listing me. Just to amplify comments on the local BBS scene, the Sysops for most of the boards used to get together at Garbonzo's Pizza at 12AM on Sunday morning to shoot the sh** and talk about the scene, until they kicked us out at 3 or so, then to the local pool hall til 6AM or so. The group called itself the Looney Club. A core of members that did house parties and other early morning bashes were the Hardcore Looney Club. Some of those guys I still see on occasion and are still friends for life. Here's some additional info on various incarnations of my own BBS: 1986-1988 "AlphaNet" Software: AppleNet. Ran on an Apple //e under DOS3.3 with two disk drives (total of 252K of disk!) and a 300bps modem 1988-1990 "Cybernetic Communications Network" Hardware: IBM PC XT with 10mb hard disk (later expanded to a 30mb) running RBBS and later Wildcat One of the first FIDONET nodes in Manitoba off YCN. 1990-1993 "Muddy Water Computer Society BBS" Hardware: Clone XT, 240mb disk, running RBBS (?) Online BBS for the Muddy Water Computer Society, which was originally the Muddy Water Osborne Group which ran an RCP/M at 204-832-4593 from about 1985 til it moved to MSDOS and my basement. The hard drives were pulls from the Burroughs mainframe as I recall and generated so much heat I didn't need baseboard heat in my office all winter. My parents probably wondered why their Hydro bill was so high! Eventually the BBS was moved to a commercial office owned by one of the members and grew into a 6 (?) line system with many hundreds of megs of software before the Internet made it irrelevant in about 1997." - Gord Tulloch

Winnipeg, MB Silicon Valley |
(1983-1988) Robert Hayes | Custom (RBBS) |
"I'm a little sketchy on the dates and the phone number, but I recall being one of the first Sysops in Winnipeg to write a homegrown BBS program for the Commodore 64. It took up the entire 38K BASIC RAM, as well as several more K for machine language subroutines. At the time, EBBS was what everyone was using. Silicon Valley became quite popular, although I only managed to sell one copy. | Being a teenager, living at home, I ran the system (with an extra 1541 drive donated by my friend) from my room upstairs! I think I shut the system down just as was heading into college. There was a HUGE BBS crowd back then in Winnipeg. We had regular parties, with people showing up from all over the BBS scene. It was really quite a great time. I hope the project goes well. BBSing was not just an online community, it was a way of life for a lot of us. " - Robert Hayes
