LanTastic | connected the BBS PC to the SysOp's PC. There weren't a | lot of callers, only several a day really, but they came | from all over. OS/2 files were not widely available, so | my BBS was a great source as the collection was as | complete as any other and constantly updated.

The software was based on | something I bought, but I don't remember the name, and | was heavily customized. It was written in BASIC. I ran | it in my parents' basement while in High School starting | in 1982 if memory serves. In the fall of 1985 I started | college and left the BBS running at home, but | simultaneously ran a second copy from my freshman dorm | room (Clark University in Worcester, MA). That one had a | fancy 1200 baud modem. The college changed their phone | system for my sophomore year and I could no longer get a | second phone line, so that ended the second setup. | Eventually running the home BBS remotely became a hassle, | and I started playing with the BitNet connection at | school, so the Gater Bowl was retired in late 1987 or | early 1988. The hardware and disks are now in my | basement and eventually I'll see if it all still boots. | I still occasionally hear from former users. What a fun | experience. The name The Gater Bowl came from the | message ending "Later Gater" used initially by a high | school friend, Bart, which caught on. When I see the | football "Gator Bowl" game written out I still think THEY | spell it wrong! The BBS was one of two BBS's run by | members of the Framingham Color Computer Club. I don't | remember the other's name or number, but if I can dig it | up I'll add its info. One interesting story was as I was | setting it up, and only one friend had the number, some | random person dialed into it. Chatting with him I | learned he was from far away (another state) and he'd | come across the BBS while war-dialing. A very strange | experience, the first stranger visiting the system. | Another was being found by the local newspaper, the | Middlesex News, and was interviewed for a story on BBS's | and hacking (when hacking just started to be a big deal). | The title of the story, "Enter the World of the Hacker." | I was 16 at the time. I was considered a "good hacker." | The Middlesex News later ran their own BBS. Since the | BBS only had one line (as most did back then) the only | interactive chatting was done between the dialup user and | myself. I had friends visit all the time and we'd sit in | the basement for hours chatting with whoever was there at | the time. What fun. The BBS had no private messages | (other than to the Sysop) - everything was public. It | held, if I remember right, 30 messages total. One text | file upload I remember well was a large Ferrari picture, | which I printed on my Okidata microline 92 and had above | the desk." - Mitch Cohen --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-879-4542 | Brazza BBs | FRAMINGHAM, MA (1994) SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-879-8351 | Cheese Factory | FRAMINGHAM, MA (1992) SYSOP | Christopher Saia --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-879-8531 | Cheese Factory, MetroWest LinkUp BBS, MetroWestLinkUp, Net | Echo Coordinator | FRAMINGHAM, MA (1992-1996) SYSOP | Christopher Saia SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-880-5412 | Dimenet | TAUNTON, MA (1994-1995) SOFTWARE | CUSTOM --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-880-6477 | Sports Depot BBS | TAUNTON, MA (1994-1995) SYSOP | Bill Perry --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-880-6535 | Groupmail Server 2, GroupNet Mail Server 2, Hang Time, | Hangtime BBS, SE Mass Net North | TAUNTON, MA (1993-1994) SYSOP | Jon Holmes --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-880-6799 | Fire Fox, Firefax | TAUNTON, MA (1990-1994) SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-880-6897 | The Radio Shop | TAUNTON, MA (1993-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-880-7340 | Dimenet | TAUNTON, MA (1992) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-881-0514 | The Studio BBS | FRAMINGHAM, MA (1994-1996) SYSOP | Norman Prefontaine --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-881-5209 | IMPosium, The IMPosium BBS | Boston, MA (1993-1995) SYSOP | Micah Imparato --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-881-6912 | The IMPosium, The IMPosium BBS | Boston, MA (1994-1996) SOFTWARE | MajorBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-883-0795 | Bellingham Bored, PC-LIBRARY, The PC Library, The Titan | BLACKSTONE, MA (1989-1994) SYSOP | Tim Crowell, John Sarmanian SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-883-1115 | The Computer Exchange BBS | BLACKSTONE, MA (1993-1994) SYSOP | Fred Beaudreau --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-883-2247 | The Dark Side BBS | BLACKSTONE, MA (1996-1997) SYSOP | Matt & Mark Neville --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-883-3894 | The Echo BBS | BLACKSTONE, MA (1995-1996) SYSOP | Peter E Hasslebrack --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-883-5255 | Outer Limits, Outer Limits BBS, THE OUTER LIMIT, OUTER | LIMIT,THE | BLACKSTONE, MA (1992-1995) SYSOP | Mike Boulanger, Mike Boulanger --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 508-883-6812 | Nasus Nibble | BLACKSTONE, MA (1993-1996) SYSOP | R.
