"Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU) started its bulletin board during the 1984-1985 school year, running RBBS on a dual (5 1/4") floppy system, with a single 300 baud HAYES external modem on the 484-2110 number. The original SYSOP was Brad Portelance, with help from John King and Steve Padnos. Craig Lyndes was the faculty advisor. I became a SYSOP during the 1985-1986 school year, and was the "Chief Sysop" for '85-'86 and '86-87. There were several other "associate" SYSOPs during that time, including Andre' Mehta, Steve Padnos, Dan LeClaire, Hemant Rao, Cathy Young, Liberty Joyce, John King, Jim Lawson, Chris Blaise, and Jessica Dione. After I graduated in '87 I believe that Jim or Chris took over, though don't much remember as I was going to college out of state. After the first year of maintaining and fixing bugs with the RBBS source (it was written in BASIC and was some of the hairiest code I've ever seen) we held some fund raisers and was able to get the money to buy TBBS, a ten meg hard drive (an inCider, if I remember), and a couple extra lines. I think we eventually upgraded to a couple of 1200 baud modems too by the time I left. I also wrote a proposal (with help from others in the CVU Computer Club) that we submitted to IBM (they have a chip manufacturing plant in Essex Junction VT) and were awarded a grant for $3000 in late 1985 or early 1986. This was used to upgrade the software and to buy more phone lines to extend our reach: Hinesburgh (where CVU is located) was a long distance call for pretty much everyone except Hinesburgh residents, so we purchased Burlington numbers (which weren't LD) that rang through to Hinesburgh. I don't know which year the BBS finally disappeared. I would expect that it was as late as 1994 or 1995." - Tom Emerson

"I ran on QuickBBS and my board was in operation from 87-89. I ran Fido, and various multi-player games. My system ran on an Vendex Headstart II 8088-XT 8Mhz processor with 1MB ram. I started with a 1200 Hayes modem. Eventually upgraded to a USR 2400. John King, Bennett Delikuka, James Pallack and I started the Vermont SysOp Association (Please list me with everyone at 802-862-2186). It basically consisted of us meeting on a Thursday night at Zachary's Pizza, talking BBS and eating. John and I remained friends after the end of our BBSs. We've since lost touch." - Christian Campbell
