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. Thanks | for remembering." - Ron Blessing --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-262-5079 | Surreal BBS Node 2 | ELKHART NORTH, IN (1994) SYSOP | Marcus Breese --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-262-9371 | Surreal BBS, Windchill Factor | ELKHART NORTH, IN (1993-1994) SYSOP | Marcus Breese SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-264-6429 | Soaring SIG | ELKHART NORTH, IN (1986) SYSOP | Brian Shoemaker --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-266-0220 | The Zoo | ELKHART NORTH, IN (1997-1998) SYSOP | Forrest Ludwick --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-266-5042 | The Digital Escape | ELKHART NORTH, IN (1995-1997) SYSOP | Chris Fisher --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-266-5812 | The BarnYard BBS | ELKHART NORTH, IN (1995) SYSOP | Forrest Ludwick --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-266-6218 | My World, Net 2285 NET ECHOMAIL COORDINATOR | ELKHART NORTH, IN (1995-1996) SYSOP | Thomas Null --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-267-2188 | JPix | WARSAW, IN (1991-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-267-8234 | The Zoo | Warsaw, IN (1993-1994) SYSOP | Rob Engle SOFTWARE | RBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-268-0520 | CANDLE Abbey | WARSAW, IN (1994) SYSOP | Bill Leaming --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 219-269-7061 | Ambition, Amiga Online | Warsaw, IN (1991-1994) SYSOP | Chad Study, Mark Krenz COMMENTS | "Ran on an Amiga 500 in Chad's house." -

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

| Upgraded to 1200 and 2400 eventually as money
| permitted...( the kids were still young then, and I'd
| just bought my house! Ran the BBS on a 40 MB Control Data
| Wren II drive...pretty good sized in those days, some
| folks were running boards on 8 in. floppies!!! Nick moved
| for health reasons, and I haven't seen Glenn in years,
