What a trip. | Interesting facts: * This BBS ran in my teenage bedroom | on our second phone line that I snaked around the outside | of the house without my parents knowing. * I had the | wrong power adapter for the 19200 baud modem which caused | it to run hot - so I took the cover off and hung it out | the window to keep it cool. * At one point the BBS had | over 30 online games, 12 download protocols, and four | message networks including WWIVnet. * Wayne Bell (the | author of WWIV) is the reason I learned to program in C | at a young age. After starting to hack on WWIV, I never | went back to PASCAL. The Time Warp enjoyed a brief | revival in 1998 during my college years when I found that | my NCD 16e X-Terminal would connect telnets to the | administrative port through to it's serial port. I had a | linux box on SLIP to the campus network at the time so... | I forwarded ports on the campus host to my linux box, | created a linux login that would invisibly launch a | hacked telnet to the X-terminal, which patched through to | a 386 with 20MB of memory running OS/2 Warp and WWIV. | WWIV was hacked to accept any character as a modem | connection. Later I added a second node (thanks to OS/2 | and the second serial port) through another PC. Multi- | node WWIV! I posted a few flyers and before I knew it, | strange people were logging in through my convoluted | setup. It was short lived but fun." - Doug Clark --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 510-228-0886 | LightWaved 3D BBS | OAKLAND, CA (1994-1996) SYSOP | Donald Smith --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 510-228-1146 | The Ether Room | OAKLAND, CA (1995-1996) SYSOP | Andrew Kocher SOFTWARE | SYNCRONE --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 510-228-2843 | The Ether Room | OAKLAND, CA (1995) SOFTWARE | SYNCHRON --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 510-228-7394 | Bundyland | OAKLAND, CA (1992) SYSOP | Seth Barry --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 510-228-7993 | Castle in the Attic, LaMerD00dz BBS | Pleasant Hill, CA (1990-1996) SYSOP | Cobra & Stingray, Sir Mikey, Stingray SOFTWARE | WWIV, Mod'ed WWIV COMMENTS | After about a year of Running the and changes in Area | code, the name was changed to Castle in the ATTIC, Also a | WWIVnet host for Hawaii, and @1 for LamerNet." - Sir | Mikey --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 510-228-8614 | Tropical Heatwave, Tuna Land | Martinez, CA (1993-1997) SYSOP | Tuna Master SOFTWARE | WWIV COMMENTS | "Tuna Land only lasted about 10 months.

I took | it down after a bit and put it back up as FPS2 but never | drew ansi so it remained FPS. Before it went down, I had | LoRD and Tradewars 2002 running. I had also made a few | real life friends from running the board and met a few | other people. I still own the 486dlc/33 and 486dx/2 66 | that it ran on. The upgrade to the Intel processor cost | $250 for the CPU alone. Today the computer hardware has | virtually no value at all and I still have it in parts in | a drawer at home and believe it will still work.
