I believe he held out longer that most due to | the fact the he did carry part of the backbone of the | UUNet on that mess of systems in what could be | euphemistically called a living room. It was great to | have access to ALL the news groups that were out there | not just a few that the ISP tell us we can get. Bill | always went out of his way to help anyone trying to get a | BBS going or to try and keep one going. He was the same | with his members. If your system was down he'd dig till | he found the problem or the part. You "NEEDED" the | latest Blue Wave or whatever he would track it for you. | I miss him and the Friends at the boathouse." - Dave | McDougle --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-232-0248 | Ham Radio Connection, Spreading The Word | SOUTH BEND, IN (1994-2000) SYSOP | Bob Stephenson, Robert Stephenson --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-232-1484 | Simple Simon's BBS | SOUTH BEND, IN (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-232-1998 | Michiana Regional Distributor, MRD'S ONLINE BBS, MRD's | Online BBS #1 | SOUTH BEND, IN (1991-1994) SYSOP | Daren Wesolowski --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-232-2769 | Writers Block | SOUTH BEND, IN (1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-232-3154 | Scouter Bum | SOUTH BEND, IN (1998-1999) SOFTWARE | TriBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-232-3487 | The Dark Ritual BBS | SOUTH BEND, IN (1997) SYSOP | Kevin Blume --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-232-7373 | Flag Net BBS | South Bend, IN (1987-Present) SYSOP | Carey Treesh (Flag Master) SOFTWARE | C-Net Amiga, Cnet Amiga COMMENTS | "Flag Net started out on a Commodore 64 originally in | Niles Michigan at the phone number of 616 (now area code | 269) 683-7373.

"Flag Net BBS is still on-line via | telnet. Our ip address changes, but we try to keep the | name active. To access, telnet to bbs.flagnet.org The | original telephone number was 616-683-7373, then moved | from Niles Michigan, to South Bend Indiana and changed | numbers to 219-232-7373. In 1999 we added a telnet in | port via a local ISP called Quantum Connections. We are | no longer affiliated with them, but have a registered | domain name now. The Amiga 2000 with 2 gig scsi hard | drive lives in my home in South Bend. All modem access | has been terminated to keep cost down. This BBS not well | attended too, and activity is very low. But despite | this, I made a commitment when I was just a kid with an | Commodore 64 to keep it going. Im proud to say, we are | still up and running, with all data in-tact since 1994 | till today.

I started | it back in August of 1982 and I can't verify this but I | believe I was the second BBS in Indiana. Originally the | system consisted of: Atari 800 - 48K (Newell Fast Chip | Installed), Atari 810 Disk Drive (appx: 90K), Atari 850 | Interface Mod., Hayes 300 Baud Smartmodem, NEC PC-8023A-C | Printer. The software I started with was the A.M.I.S. | software from MACE, which I ended up making a number of | enhancements to. Several years later I moved to a Tandy | 2000 and then finally to a PC clone system. Eventually, I | just couldn't keep up with the size of the other BBS | system around me. I must admit I had the most fun with | the Atari and miss those early days. There were a LOT of | great people running BBS systems and unselfishly willing | to help anyone that needed it. I still have my 800 | stored away and wouldn't give it up for anything.

From there on, | as they say, the rest is history. When Last Chance | finally shut it's electronic doors in 1991 there were | over 200 registered users and the system had added a | second line. Two dedicated Intel 286 workstations | answered the phone with US Robotics HST modems and a | third 386 machine was the network server, running on the | then brand new Lantastic network hardware and software. | The decision by the telephone company (GTE) that this was | now a "business" because I solicited donations from users | to try and offset the ever-increasing operating costs was | the nail in the coffin of this BBS. The entire system | was sold intact to a hospital in Dyer, IN and used for | staff access. I was fortunate enough to work as an | installer and consultant to them for a short while and | oversaw the installation of a multi-disk CD-Rom drive | (brand new technology at that time) added to the system | that allowed access to a vast medical database for the | use of doctors and hospital staff. To this day I | remember fondly the many people I met thru this BBS, | including a couple of online romances that sprung up | between users. While the Internet has opened up a vast | new world of information and global communication, I | still miss the small friendly community of people that | frequented my BBS. Thanks to all of you, should anyone | who remembers me be reading this." - Dennis Wood --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-762-8547 | 201 202 203 204 205 206

We started with Wildcat | software which we used for a long time, briefly used | Quick BBS, and finally ended up on PC-BOARD as we evolved | into more sophisticated things like participating in | FIDO-NET. We started at 1200 baud and one computer, | which I would have to take offline if I wanted to call | into another BBS because we had just the one. | Eventually, we added another line, had two PCs networked | together with LANTASTIC, and got a 16.8k US ROBOTICS | modem with the special "FOR BBS USE ONLY - NOT FOR | RESALE" placard on it because of the special pricing | availble to SysOps.

"I remember being amazed at the | whole FIDO next message board/email system -- being able | to send a message from the local BBS, then watching as | our system auto-dialed a system in Chicago at night, | which would then dial some other system, and eventually | the message would make its way to the intended recipient. | An email and a reply might take days to complete, but it | was still electronic and free, which was just the coolest | thing ever. Little did we know then what those early | email-relay systems would evolve into.

"We kept the | BBS going even while I was in college, although from '93- | 96 the whole BBS thing was really in its twilight. For a | number of years we won the prestigious (LOL) "Northwest | Indiana's Best BBS Award" - heck we may well have won | that ever year such voting actually took place -- at | least 3 or 4 times anyway.

"I look back now and can't | believe how much things have changed, but since I got out | of school I've been a technology entrepreneur, I've | started a number of internet related companies, raised | venture capital, did the dot-com thing, and here I am | still at it -- and I probably owe it all to running that | BBS with my dad when I was 13 years old. My first "real" | business out of college was an ISP in 1996, which was | really nothing more than a more modern BBS, with dial up | modems and the whole bit.

"The funny thing is that | you can't even talk about the BBS days to people that | didn't experience them first hand, because it all seems | so foreign - yet if you were there, the evolution to | where we are now is plain as day.

"Anyway, thanks for | having this site - I stumbled onto it by complete | accident as I was checking a caller ID call I missed, and | somehow this came up. It really has brought back some | memories."

"Now if I can just remember how to play | Tradewars... Thanks again." - Jeff --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-924-0226 | The Amazon Ruins | HIGHLAND, IN (1995-1996) SYSOP | Ted Larson, Theodore Larson --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-924-0986 | Esoteria! | HIGHLAND, IN (1992) SYSOP | Tony Harwood --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-925-2704 | House Of Pain | AUBURN, IN (1994) SYSOP | Roy Watson --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-925-5524 | North Eastern IN, The Loft | Auburn, IN (1989-2000) SYSOP | Donn Bly --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-925-8026 | Klingon Empire | AUBURN, IN (1995) SYSOP | Berlin Slone Jr. --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-925-9516 | Klingon Empire | AUBURN, IN (1994) SYSOP | Berlin Slone jr. --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-926-1036 | Cutting Edge Online | CHESTERTON, IN (1994) SYSOP | Brian Marx --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-926-2060 | Restoration Rock | Chesterton, IN (1991-1995) SYSOP | Curtis Taylor SOFTWARE | PC Board, PCBB COMMENTS | "Carried Christnet, Phileonet(host), started on Tandy | 1000.
