Over the years, I | upgraded it to a 486 with a 9600 vbis/etc modem and | connected to WWIVnet and WWivLink and a local network | whose name I forget. We even lived through the 209/559 | area code split. As the internet became available, users | stopped flocking to the BBSs and instead went online. We | lost something in the conversion from BBSs to the | internet that we won't easily get back, as the internet | is too big and too diverse to accommodate that community | feeling.

I did start | with some public domain software that I spliced together | but I don't remember the references--it wasn't Fido or | anything. All run on Atari with a 300 baud modem. I wrote | everything in Microsoft Basic, and eventually lost | control of the spaghetti code. I had some experimental | features to my BBS: it was all themed as if you were in a | medieval village and read like a simple Infocom (remember | those?) game. Sometimes if you were at a menu prompt, | something surprising would happen based on random timers | like "a beggar comes up to you and asks for a pence"--if | you choose not to give him one, some random % of the time | the system would say that he calls you a cheap scoundrel | and pulls a knife and kills you for your money--then when | you tried to log back in during the next 24 hours the | system would deny access saying "sorry, you're dead!". Or | if you gave him something it might reward you with higher | level access. Or maybe something else would happen~Wyou | never knew! Anyway, it got quite popular and the modem | was basically busy 24 hours a day until I took it down | (and then the line was still constantly ringing for some | several months. Some great memories.

He was 1 or 2 years ahead of me. We were | good friends, and since he was going to be graduating, | operation was transferred to me instead of just shutting | the BBS down entirely. Of course, I liked using BBSes, | but one of my interests in taking over operation was that | I was at the time an OS freak. (I am writing you from | pine on FreeBSD, connected by a Mac OS X terminal) What | good was having a system that could dual-boot OS/2 2.0 | and Windows NT 3.1 Beta if you didn't have an 'important' | BBS to run? I can report that the BBS ran under NT 3.1 | almost all of the time, as I found that the 'Tosser' | functions for inter-BBS message transfer ran faster due | to NT's apparently better disk cache functions, but the | tradeoff was OS/2 2.0 had a better shot of running a DOS | game at the same time; what a dilemma. BBS networks were | another fascination. In 1994 I started an ISP, which I | run to this day. In fact, I think one of the ways I | helped gauge interest in 'the Internet' was by posting on | some of the local BBSes.. I think I saw a printout of | that post in some of my old papers a while ago." - Brian | Curnow --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-537-2808 | Retreat of the Gods | MODESTO, CA (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-537-6473 | BJ's Back-Fence | MODESTO, CA (1995-1998) SYSOP | James McGee --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-537-6795 | Super Graphics BBS | MODESTO, CA (1996) SYSOP | Joe Wiram --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-537-8600 | Brill's Toy | MODESTO, CA (1992) SYSOP | Bob Eisenberg --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-538-4779 | BB's BBS | MODESTO, CA (1998-1999) SOFTWARE | TriBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-538-7089 | The Underground | MODESTO, CA (1991-1992) SYSOP | Aaron Parks --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-538-7359 | Allendale, Terra | Ceres, CA (1993-1995) SYSOP | James Ogden, Dane Carlson, Eric Watchous, Alex Ruiz SOFTWARE | WWIV --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-538-8454 | Hazel's Nut House | MODESTO, CA (1993-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-541-1404 | Super Graphics BBS | MODESTO, CA (1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-543-9793 | Genotia, King Aurthur's Relam | MODESTO, CA (1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-544-1132 | Beyond Imagination | MODESTO, CA (1993-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-544-1651 | Delta BBS | MODESTO, CA (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-544-2532 | Casa de Cricket, Casa De Crickett, Interim NC, Modesto | Turlock Hub, Net 208 NEC, NorCal Regional | Hub, Psychotic Submarine, r10 | tx@thevision.net, Reg 10 EchoCoord, | Stockton Modesto Area, Stockton/Modesto | Net, The Psychotic Submarine | MODESTO, CA (1991-1999) SYSOP | David Hallford --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-544-9810 | Bird House - 2400 Baud | MODESTO, CA (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-545-4227 | Programmer's Retreat | Modesto, CA SOFTWARE | Proprietary --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-545-4494 | Modesto Turlock Hub, The AIDS Chat Line | MODESTO, CA (1994-1998) SYSOP | John Pfeifer --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-545-5855 | Night Life | MODESTO, CA (1993-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-547-1966 | City Nights | STOCKTON, CA (1991-1992) SYSOP | Manny Casao --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-0103 | The End Of Time | MODESTO, CA (1992) SYSOP | Mitch Avery --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-0188 | -=Perceptions=-, California Central Valley Hub, Northern | Rebels | MODESTO, CA (1991-1995) SYSOP | Charles Rose --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-0423 | Anything Goes, Anything Goes [ASV] | Modesto, CA (1988-1997) SYSOP | Chris Yarnell, Chris Yarnell / cdy SOFTWARE | WWIV , Wildcat! and WWIV --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-0918 | Villige Gibberish | MODESTO, CA (1995) SYSOP | Bruce Marriner --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-1420 | -= Central Valley BBS =-, -=Central Valley BBS Node 2 | MODESTO, CA (1991-1992) SYSOP | Charles Rose --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-1421 | -=Central Valley BBS Node 3 | MODESTO, CA (1991-1992) SYSOP | Charles Rose --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-1505 | Obliviators Unlimited | Modesto, CA SYSOP | Tyler Hardison (Terminus) SOFTWARE | Color-64 --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-2113 | The ACADEMY BBS | MODESTO, CA (1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-2711 | Mindquest | MODESTO, CA (1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-549-2865 | Most Excellent, The Most Excellent BBS | Modesto, CA (1992-1995) SYSOP | Phill Kenoyer SOFTWARE | Modified WWIV - 21026 COMMENTS | "Started in Turlock, Ca and moved to Modesto, Ca.

Most people did not make it through the scroll | down entry, as I had a huge message written in just 0's | and 1's, it was a design that I made look like a tree, my | plan was to have lots of pages that you could load | instead of the single scrolling page, I eventually wanted | to make it more like an framework for a community | newspaper, I was fascinated with the weather since we | lived just west of the snowline, I thought it might be | important for me to bring satellite images down from | Prodigy and post them on my BBS for download by people | who had phone numbers that were not long distance (at the | time I had no concept of copyrights as I was only 8 years | old by that time, about the same time the computer moved | from the family den room near the kitchen, to the area | behind the couch in the living room that was in the | formal dining room, this was my first concept of setting | up my own online command center.) I think that I had | composed over 10 pages of community rules, in Microsoft | Works, then later in notepad, and I had printed versions | that were numbered since I didn't have knowledge to re- | write the BBS framework, I had to make my rules comply | with the existing parameters. I remember promoting my | BBS on other BBS's, then I would hang up, and wait for | other people to dial up to my computer, I would of course | watch everything they did, and I made some improvements, | that is where I first learned about source control and | documentation. I was making backup directories using MS- | DOS batch commands and saving them to a disk, I would | carry the disks with me to school and work on the code on | school lab computers whenever I could. It was the same | as what my Mom did at her office, but for me I was the | boss of the data, things of never changed." - Mike | Hamanaka --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-738-1370 | F B I ComNet BBS, FBI ComNET BBS, Union Pacific BBS, Union | Pacific Track 1 | Visalia, CA (1989-1996) SYSOP | Scott Yarbrough SOFTWARE | Telegard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-738-5270 | Midnight Express BBS, Visalia Net | VISALIA, CA (1991) SYSOP | Nick Volosin --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-738-8101 | Goat Pen | VISALIA, CA (1995) SYSOP | Eric Frame --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-742-6488 | SERENITY IS YOSEMITE | MARIPOSA, CA (1994-1997) SYSOP | Carol Katz --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-745-3966 | Galt Lodi Hub, Veterans BBS | GALT, CA (1994-1997) SYSOP | John Hill SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-745-9284 | JR Blue BBS | GALT, CA (1987-1991) SYSOP | Paul Rau --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-754-1363 | The Silicon Realms | San Andreas, CA (1987-2005) SYSOP | Joe Commodore SOFTWARE | All American, C-Net, Image (Commodore) COMMENTS | "One of the longest running BBSs in the California gold | country.

line BBS out of my home in Tracy | CA. I started a company called ACE InfoSystems to support | it. The ACE part was derived from 'ASCII Computer | Enterprise', another company I previously created to | support the MINIHOST BBS software I wrote. The BBS | started with MajorBBS software (later Worldgroup) using a | T1 and D4 channel bank with 23 US Robotics modems. Later | the modems were replaced with a MultiTech Complete | Communications Server CC2400, a great piece of hardware | in its day. The most sought after feature was the | ability to play multiplayer games online, Duke Nukem - | Doom - Decent, to name a few. Later I added Internet | access to become the 1st ISP in the area." - Don Mankin --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-833-1672 | Killaz 'R' US, Manteca Hub | TRACY, CA (1997-1998) SYSOP | William Eckard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-833-3615 | The Sinking Ship | TRACY, CA (1993-1996) SYSOP | Mark Bauman --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-835-4852 | NEC & Assistant NC, Stockton Modesto Area, The Liberators | Corner | Tracy, CA (1997-2009) SYSOP | Kenneth Boys --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-835-8452 | The Liberators Corner | TRACY, CA (1997) SYSOP | Kenneth Boys --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-836-0216 | Gamers Headquarters | TRACY, CA (1995-1996) SYSOP | Tami Garrison --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-836-2234 | The Human Factor | TRACY, CA (1998) SYSOP | Michael Wheelus --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 209-836-2402 | Maxi Host Support Technical Support, MegaHost Support, | MINIHOST, MaxiHost Support BBS, ASCII | Computer Enterprises | San Ramon, CA (1992-1996) SYSOP | Don Mankin COMMENTS | MaxiHost BBS - small, very easy to run BBS

SOFTWARE | Home rolled in Better BASIC
COMMENTS | "Ran a very complex and total custom BBS. All the code
| was in Better BASIC. Supported file transfers and *.wav
| files... a remote controlled FM radio served up WAV files
| of the station you could pick. Also, had a message base
| tie into the ham radio BBS system known as packet radio.
| I moved a lot and put a diverter line in Hughson,
| California to forward the calls out to Waterford so it
| would not be long distance from Modesto. We used to have
| local user parties in this area and all the sysops would
| hook up for drinks and PC Support. There's over 1000
| users in my old BBS database... I could and did run on
| DOS 2.11 (300 baud) through to DOS 6.2 (9600/14.4kbps). I
| kind of ran under Windows 3.01 but we found AOL and soon
| after the Internet in 1997 and lost interest fast after
| we got our house in Salida. Now I run a low-power FM
| station (KQRP). For me, it's always been about serving
| the community." - Brad (J.Hill)

COMMENTS | "Hughson was a great place to run a BBS because it was a
