COMMENTS | "Pegasoft Dixon and Pegasoft Sterling 815-625-1584 were | run by brothers Kent and Shelby Meyer. Shelby started | Pegasoft with a Commodore 128 with a 1200 baud modem | running 3 hours a night. It slowly grew to the Amiga | platform to 2 cities, Dixon and Sterling, and had up to 5 | total lines dedicated to it. Even today I still talk with | computer friends and colleagues and we reminisce about | the fun times playing TradeWars, Empire, and other online | games. The message boards were awesome to communicate | with others. We even offered free email accounts before | the BBS era came to an end. We had lots of fun with this | and truly miss the good times!" - Kent Meyer

| "PEGASOFT-Sterling was in operation from 1986-1996 and | ran 2 lines. 815-284-3681 and 815-284-9036 PEGASOFT was | an abbreviation for Pegasus Software. The BBS was a | member of several different messaging networks at that | time. The BBS also kept 18 CD~Rs of software online for | the callers and supported a couple dozen online games. | The BBS was originally known as Pegasoft. My brother | eventually created one called Pegasoft Dixon which had 3 | lines. Somewhere I even have the complete history of the | BBS in a 2 page essay. The BBS used Wildcat at the end. | However it used about 6 different software packages over | the years." - Shelby Meyer --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-334-1111 | Signature | WOODSTOCK, IL (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-334-1115 | Signature | WOODSTOCK, IL (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-334-1116 | Signature | WOODSTOCK, IL (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-337-0191 | BMC West | WOODSTOCK, IL (1994-2000) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-337-0279 | CHART-Board, First, ESP-BBS, First Chart, First CHART- | Board | Chicago, IL (1989-1996) SYSOP | Mather/Brenton SOFTWARE | TBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-337-0296 | ESP-BBS | WOODSTOCK, IL (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-337-1214 | ESP-BBS | WOODSTOCK, IL (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-337-1215 | ESP-BBS | WOODSTOCK, IL (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-337-1216 | ESP-BBS | WOODSTOCK, IL (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-337-5550 | G-Went | WOODSTOCK, IL (1991-1991 ) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-338-1072 | BMC West | WOODSTOCK, IL (1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-338-1627 | Dazed And Confused | WOODSTOCK, IL (1995-1997) SYSOP | Dale Austin --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-338-6629 | Flannigan's Funky Funhouse | WOODSTOCK, IL (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-338-7225 | Hang-Out BBS | WOODSTOCK, IL (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-338-9601 | The Hide-Out | WOODSTOCK, IL (1995) SYSOP | George Goehring --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-344-0481 | The Archives | MCHENRY, IL (1986) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-344-1346 | Audio Adrenalin | MCHENRY, IL (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-344-2635 | Virgie's | MCHENRY, IL (1995) SYSOP | Rick Voss --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-356-7061 | Nightline BBS | CRYSTAL LAKE, IL (1994-1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-356-7062 | Nightline, NIGHTLINE II | CRYSTAL LAKE, IL (1994-1997) SYSOP | Ron Pena --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-359-7328 | JBIC BBS | HARMON, IL (1994) SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-363-0183 | Serious Intercourse | MCHENRY, IL (1991-1992) SYSOP | Kevin Sehl --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-363-1351 | Bob Saget Hate Club, Bob Saget Hate Club {363}, Dark | Globe, Dutch Creek BBS, The Dutch Creek | BBS | MCHENRY, IL (1992-1996) SYSOP | Carl Johnson SOFTWARE | Telegard, Renegade --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-363-1393 | Chatter Box, the Chatter Box | MCHENRY, IL (1994) SYSOP | Dave Jeschke --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-363-6180 | Dazed Planet | MCHENRY, IL (1996-1997) SYSOP | Mike Marotta --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-363-9793 | Virgie's | MCHENRY, IL (1994) SYSOP | Rick Voss --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-372-3263 | Dream Zone | LOCKPORT, IL (1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 815-379-9341 | Alt.
