| Tuesday, October 20 1998: Well, it's been almost a year | since I've written here... obviously I haven't been | taking care of this BBS like I should. Many of you who | have wrote messages to me haven't recieved a responce. | Well, it's because I rarely log-on to the BBS anymore. | Anyways, I have 2 main reasons for not watching the BBS | as I should. 1: The InterNet. The pull of the InterNet | and it's Multi-player Games such as StarCraft and others | are where I spend all my time when I'm on my computer | now. You say that I sould make time to maintain the BBS? | Well, that brings about my 2nd reason. 2: Since I | upgraded the computer from a P100 to a P200II half (Jan.) | the doors haven't worked... half the BBS utilities I used | to use don't work. A fellow SysOp says that it is the | new P2 processors, they don't allow some old programs | made in Pascal to run anymore... so I have disheartantly | given up with it. Anyways, the BBS may shut down. My | brother and I are getting a Cable-Modem for the Inter-Net | and this BBS may be shut down as a result... within the | next 2 months. Shaun Koltun
In the end I think we | took over 14,000 calls - having only 1 phone line that | wasn't all that bad. We had 2 people who called over 500 | times, and 1 who called over 1000 times. Over 9000 files | were transfered throughout the years." - Shaun Koltun --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-543-6395 | Ganshirt At Home | REGINA, CANADA (1994) SYSOP | Ken Ganshirt --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-543-7668 | The Night Shift | REGINA, CANADA (1992-1993) SYSOP | Kevin King --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-543-7677 | Cyber Universe | REGINA, CANADA (1997) SYSOP | Shawn Drew --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-543-7683 | C.U.G.S.

Albert, Sask (1982-Present) SYSOP | Todd Chamberlain SOFTWARE | Wildcat, DLG, Excelsior COMMENTS | "This BBS has undergone MANY changes and revisions over | the years. AFAIK, it's the oldest BBS in Saskatchewan, | and most probably one of the oldest anywhere. It | certainly was the first BBS in Prince Albert, the first | to have multiple lines, the first to have online games, | the first to offer HST & 56K, and the first to use an | optional graphical terminal program.
"When I was in | grade 12 (1981) I got a Texas Instruments TI99/4A and | began programing to beat the band. Later that year, I | got a job at a Video store selling Vic 20's, and our | company communications were done over 'DataPac' Packet | service, where I was fasinated with the online services | and games (Wumpus Hunt!!!) that were avaialble on DataPac | connected computers.
"Around Christmas 1982, I had | one of the first Commodore 64's available, and the first | order of business was to program a BBS program and to get | it online. Within a few days, KILROY'S WORLD was online | in a very primative form. Over the next couple years, I | wrote what I modesly called TWFBBS (The Worlds Fastest | BBS) plus I added 4 Disk Drives for the largest online | file library and message base anywhere, 300 Baud modem, | in all it's glory!
"In 1985, I went to see my first | Amiga 1000, and one look at the Boing Demo and I was | sold. I bought an Amiga 1000, an Extra Disk Drive, the | extra memory and a modem. My Commodore 64 BBS software | was in BASIC, so it was relatively easy to translate to | the Amiga, and within days, the faster more powerful | Amiga BBS was online, complete with two 880K drives (WOW, | over 1.7 MegaBytes!). Shortly thereafter, commercial | Amiga BBS software came available, and I finally retired | TWFBBS software in favour of DLG Pro, which in allowed me | to add a second modem and to become Prince Albert's first | multiline BBS, and the MultiTasking allowed another first | - online games.
"In 1987, I opened a retail computer | store, Computer Answers, and with the introduction of the | Amiga 2000, we could add a hard drive, and eventually | Multi-Serial boards to support 8 modems. We also changed | the name of the BBS from 'Kilroy's World' to 'Computer | Answers BBS' to better reflect where the loot was coming | from to finance the operation. The store also allowed us | to expand the number of lines - we had 2 lines dedicated | to the BBS (764-0088 and 764-0888) but after hours, we | also added the three store business lines to have a five | line BBS - unheard of at the time. We also constantly | kept on the leading edge of modem technology, moving to | 2400 baud, and 9600 baud Intel modems as soon as they | were available. We also took advantage of USR's | BBS/Sysop offer and moved to HST/Dual Standard modems to | support both HST and V.32 standards as soon as they were | available.
"I should also give a nod to other BBS | Pioneers from Prince Albert - Howard Weitzel, Ken | Harrison, Glen Outlette, Mark Warner and Trevor Cook to | name ome of the most notable. They ran the gambit - | Howard worked was a middle aged man working for SaskTel, | while Ken Harrison was a 12 year old with his Atari ST, | but all with the same passion for computers and | telecommunications that I had.
"By 1997, we had 8 | dedicated lines, with an automatic hunt group, and a 1 | GigaByte SCSI Hard Drive. DLG Pro had served us very | well, but there were a limited number of games available, | and Boardwatch magazine had ads and reviews for | WorldGroup and Wildcat software that caught my attention. | We choose Wildcat, largely because they were supporting | this new graphics protocal named 'HTML'. We just a | feeling it was going to catch on. ;^) In January 1997, | we moved to Windows and Wildcat software, again brining | several more 1st to Saskatchewan - Graphic Terminal | program and FidoNet communication. In July 1997, we | added the Wildcat 'Internet Connectivity Package' to | allow us to migrate from the BBS to the ISP World, and | www.iNET2000.com was born.
"Over it's lifetime, | Kilroy's World / Computer Answers BBS had 1107 registered | users and accepted 2,168,944 calls. Yes, I said 2 | Million, 168 thousand, 944 calls.
"Currently (as of | March 2006) our ISP Business offers Internet Connectivity | via Satellite and Wireless Internet accounts, but we | still offer 64 dialup lines for 56K - V.92 modem users. | Our Wildcat BBS software no longer answers the modems, | this is now done on Total Control V.92 / PPP modem pools, | however, we still run our Wildcat BBS / Telnet / Files / | Message base at the center of it all. Of course, most | new customers have no use for it, and no idea that it's | even there, and with the advent of fle sharing and | forums, the Wildcat file & message bases are no longer | unique. However, every now and then when I walk into the | server room, I look at my 64 port Modem Racks, network | switches and firewalls, plus a dozen servers doing DNS, | Mail and Hosting services, and I have to smile - Man! Now | that's a Big BBS!" - Todd Chamberlain --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-764-4776 | The Viper's Nest | PRINCE ALBERT, CANADA (1994-1996) SYSOP | Bob Hamill --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-775-0038 | Jurassic Park, South Echo Four | REGINA, CANADA (1993-1994) SYSOP | Bill Brown --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-775-0445 | Syntax Error | REGINA, CANADA (1990) SYSOP | Michael Jensen --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-775-1437 | MEBBS ][ Amiga, Prairie Strato Baseball | REGINA, CANADA (1991-1995) SYSOP | Jim MacKenzie --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-775-1511 | The Missing Link BBS | REGINA, CANADA (1994-1995) SYSOP | Stephen Crawford --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-777-2998 | Scouts' Own | REGINA, CANADA (1991-1994) SYSOP | Randy Neufeld --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-777-4420 | SaskTel 1 | REGINA, CANADA (1989-1994) SYSOP | Ken Ganshirt --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 306-777-4493 | MR.

That I regretted, because I | the BBS lost alot of its patronage, citing that the BBS | lost its "feel".. and a couple of months later I changed | it all back.
It was alot of fun running that BBS, | which took quite a bit of work, mainly because I ran it | on a 8088 with a 5 1/2 and a 3 1/2 inch floppy for the | first year of its existance. Keeping enough free space | available was a challenge.
There was were some large | BBS's in Regina at the time, but there was a trio of | BBS's which I was a part of, that were considered to be | the most fun to be on, at least in my mind, because of | the amount of conversations happening on them at any one | time.
I have to admit, the advent of the Internet | killed bulletin boards, and I do not even know if any are | around anymore.
I think you are doing a great service
| to their memory and contribution to computing. And thank
| you for remembering." - B6

COMMENTS | "Multiline BBS, had 3 lines but I forget the other

| mistaken). Was the first multiline BBS in Prince Albert,
| the Amiga made that possible (all 3 modems were in one
| computer). Was also the only BBS to feature multiplayer
| online games (over 50 different games including a few
| self-authored games). Monkey Heaven was the Canadian hub
| for MEBBSnet (similar to FIDOnet, but smaller and
| targeted mainly at Amiga BBSes) and the Canadian support
| site for meBBS BBS software and a number of Amiga BBS
| boardgames. Monkey Heaven BBS went down when I moved to
| Saskatoon to go to UofS, reopened a single line BBS there
| for a couple months but it wasn't the same so it
| eventually shut down forever. Besides, the internet was
| the way of the future. :)" - Glen Ouellette
