"The second phone line was 913-273-1551. People often referred to it as the NAMU. I started this BBS when I was a sophomore in High School, which was 1983. "When we moved out of the 273 telephone exchange (this was long before number portability), I made arrangements to have the phone lines hooked up at a friends house (who lived in the 273 phone exchange), so I could keep the same phone numbers, and he allowed me to set the BBS up in his basement...where it lived on for a few more years.
"With the popularity of the Internet, my call volume dropped to only a few calls a day, and since I was providing it for free (accepting donations), I couldn't justify it anymore.
I transferred the TBBS software license to my 10 year old (computer nerd) nephew, who lived in Colorado in 1994." - Rob Nall

"Originally ran out of a dorm room on campus, then moved to our apartment. Lawrence had the fortune of the 843 prefix, allowing the phone number to be 913-THE-SHOP. We adopted the personas of Hotrod and Dr. Bongo who ran this fictional harbor for peace, love and pre-internet BBS arguments. The TGP2 software was in Turbo Pascal and came from another local sysop known as Papa Smurf who started it for his BBS called The Great Pyramid. I met him in a Computer Science class and got a copy that I heavily modified, using ANSI control codes to add full-screen editor and colorize much of the interface -- so fancy!"
