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. Always running Cnet software, my goal was | to be the longest lasting most up-time message base(not | download file based) BBS in town. Im proud to say we are | still on-line today with our non-Y2K compliant software, | its a bit buggy, but still up an running. To access | flagnet bbs, telnet to: telnet://bbs.flagnet.org or our | old link may still be up... telnet //flagnet.qtm.net" - | Carey Treesh
"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. Message bases, "G-files" and even some "P-
| files" can still be activated." - Carey Treesh

COMMENTS | "Hi Jason, I was the Sysop of Hart City BBS. 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. Thanks
| for remembering." - Ron Blessing

| multi-line TBBS software. It was a node within FidoNet
| (#227:160). While another local BBS later claimed use of
| the 160 node, FidoNet nodes were never reused and there
| is some content on the Web that indicates that the node
| number was reported in error. While the bulletin board
| was accessible free of charge, membership required the
| submission of a copy of one's drivers license. Features
| included Netmail, multi-line chat, Freeware/Shareware
| downloads all within a 2-hour limit daily limit." -

COMMENTS | "The Night-Time moved to Hammond, IN in 1992 and changed
| its number to 219-989-1716. In '94 I changed to the name
| to Ham'nd Eggs to reflect running from Hammond. Night-
| Time was a play on my name and the fact that the board
| only ran from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.--on a 1200 baud modem.
| My (now ex-) wife insisted on a separate phone line when
| we moved to Hammond. Both systems ran Wildcat, although
| Ham'nd Eggs had a short sprint under Spirfire." - Bob

| baud modem. We ran briefly at 9600 baud, but shut down
| soon after. The phone rang off the hook all night long,
| Our mother in her 60's learned how to reset the computer
| after crashes. We held Shadownet pizza parties where
| upwards of 40 people would attend. Our home became known
| as Shadownet central. We had many users trying to earn an
| invite over. Users wanted to know what we did on the
| other side of the computer. We met many of our current
| friends through the BBS. We were widely known as the
| Shadownetters. Those were some good days. Kinda geeky,
| but still good." - Keith Cramer

219-659-7205 | North Lake NIX, North Lake NixNet "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
