I run into a | lot of people in my field that have no idea what a BBS is | and have no concept of a modem so this is awesome. I ran | a BBS back in the late 80's to early 90's in Southern NY | at 914-227-8064 using Telegard for the most part. I knew | a lot of the guys you have listed. I ran it under a | couple of names like "Garden of Stone" which was early | 90's of course... Pearl Jam reference. Back in the late | 80's I can't quite remember but I went under the handle | "Uncle Meat" (another music reference :-) ). Started out | on a 300 baud modem before I hosted. Well from 2400, | 9600, 14.4k, 38.4, then finally 56k! I had a blast being | able to admister it and create a community. Loved being | able to see people actually log on and off and do things. | Also remember being able to mess with them sometimes with | fake line noise using the function keys LMAO. Anyway, | I'm sure other things will come to me but thanks for | putting the site together." - Matt Fury --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-227-8496 | The End of the Universe BBS | Hopewell Junction, NY SOFTWARE | Telegard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-228-4321 | Infinity ACI BBS | Carmel, NY (1988-1992) SYSOP | Bret Ancowitz COMMENTS | "Hello! My BBS number was 914-228-4321. The only | mention I have found of my BBS here in the | Google/internet age was in an archive of FidoNet boards | here: http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/reference/net- | directory/host-tables/FIDONet-Hosts.txt. There is also | an entry into the FidoNet History Project here: | http://ambrosia60.dd- | dns.de/fidonet/nlarchive2.php?e=Infinity+ACI. Here is my | history below: "I was the SysOp of the Infinity ACI BBS | in roughly the 1988-ish to 1992 timeframe. It was an | Amiga BBS and it felt like I changed BBS software every | few months, given the fact that Amiga BBS software was, | in general, the product of mostly amateur efforts of | middling stability and almost no support. I absolutely | adored BBS'ing, especially growing up as a teenager in an | obscure rural area (Putnam County), with obscure teenage | interests (Sci-Fi, history, politics, science), using an | obscure computer system (the Amiga). So the universe of | BBS'ing was for me a proxy way to explore both the world | and myself. The power of computers to connect people and | communities that we take for granted today was new and | intoxicating during that era, especially for teens, and | it had the additional allure of feeling very forbidden | and "underground." Enjoying BBS's as I did, starting one | became a no-brainer in high school once I convinced my | parents to purchase some additional phone lines. I can't | praise my parents enough. They poured time, money, and | effort into helping me start what almost became a round- | the-clock enterprise despite their occasional concern and | their incomplete understanding of what I was doing. How | perplexed (and patient) they must have been to see my | Amiga running 24 hours a day, the CPU fan audible around | the house, as modem connect tones punctuated the quiet at | all hours of the day and night! In the middle of dinner, | a connect tone would ring out and I would jump down and | run to my room to see who was on my BBS and what they | were doing. I don't remember why I named the BBS what I | did. I vaguely remember that the Infiniti car brand was | about to soon launch in the US (which they later did in | 1990) and remember feeling that the name did indeed sound | somewhat upscale but I disliked Nissan.s silly, | deliberate misspelling with the .i. at the end. So I | thought I would beat them to the use of the name and | spell it correctly. The infinity symbol was great fodder | for a logo as well. The ACI? I have no idea. Acronyms | seemed very adult and official. I don't know if the "A" | was a play on my last name or Amiga. The "C" and "I" are | lost to the dark recesses of my memory. The most fun I | had was in doing animated and elborate ANSI menus for the | BBS, a feature most users viewed once, praised, and then | promptly turned off in favor of simplified text menus. I | had some active forums on my site, especially relating to | the Amiga, Star Trek, and some regional issues. I tried | emulating the America Online thing in vogue at the time | by joining FidoNet and, I think, ICN (see The Brewster | BBS). In fact, I joined what felt like every available | message network and it often felt like my BBS spent as | much time doing timed dialing out to exchange messages as | it was available for people to dial in. In fact, I have | vague memories of one phone line being exclusively used | for networking and another being used for dial-in. In | short order, my BBS rapidly developed a reputation for | being *the* place to go in my zone of the 914 area code | for networked message forums, something that was helped | by the fact that Amiga BBS software at the time seemed | far ahead of its PC counterparts in forum organization | and management. I even tried doing updated local | weather, a local visitors guide (something I started long | before when I had a Commodore 128), something resembling | journalism for my local community, and opinion pieces. | At the BBS's peak, I probably had 2 or 3 phone lines and | several users per hour and a few even paid me for | "upgraded" access. I, for about 5 minutes, tried to | establish an Amiga "warez" scene on the BBS which | immediately failed due to my lack of cred in that | community and due to a general lack of Amiga users in my | area code. I got to know several of my online users very | well and even met one or two in the real world. My | experience keeping the BBS cobbled together, attractive, | and operating became increasingly difficult as the | technology, boardering the proto-internet age, started to | zoom ahead. I rapidly hit the ceiling of my self-taught | technical knowledge at the end of high school and was | keeping things going by trial and error, the advice of | generous experts on help forums, and by sheer will. It | was increasingly apparent that computer-based | connectivity was professionalizing, separating the truly | knowledgeable from us mere tinkering hobbyists. The best | BBS operators started to become people who did IT for a | living or were purposefully taking computer networking or | graphics design courses to keep themselves relevant as | BBS.s became websites. Like many, I shut everything down | before leaving home for college, which was less an event | than I had imagined it would be, as my user base began to | dwindle as the overall Amiga and BBS communities both | entered their twilights. At the end, I ha d maybe 3 or | 4 daily users. While I'm still amazed that the average | American lives in a society that is drenched in a style | of 24/7 connectivity far outstripping anything of my BBS | youth, I can't help but feel sad that something from that | BBS age has been lost." - Bret Ancowitz --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-229-0197 | Solutions BBS | Hyde Park, NY (1992-1996) SYSOP | Chris Hawkinson SOFTWARE | RBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-229-1678 | *I*M*A*G*I*N*E* | Hyde Park, NY (1994) SYSOP | Tony Thompson --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-229-2996 | F/X by FiRe (Node II) | Hyde Park, NY (1993) SOFTWARE | Renegade --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-229-6282 | *I*M*A*G*I*N*E* | Hyde Park, NY (1994) SYSOP | Tony Thompson --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-229-6439 | Blue Knight BBS, BlueKnight BBS | Hyde Park, NY (1992-2005) SYSOP | Bill McKay --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-229-8483 | F/X, F/X by FiRe (Node I), InFiniTy I, Infinity Node #1 | Hyde Park, NY (1991-1995) SYSOP | Tim Winnard SOFTWARE | Renegade COMMENTS | "NEUA World Headquarters" --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-234-0484 | The Great Escape | Bedford, NY (1993-1996) SYSOP | Duke SOFTWARE | Renegade --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-234-1284 | Stromi's Place | Bedford, NY (1992-1996) SYSOP | Anthony Arcadi SOFTWARE | Renegade --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-234-3260 | The Central Office | Bedford, NY SYSOP | The Datamaster SOFTWARE | Citadel COMMENTS | Run as a continuation of the efforts of the OSUNY BBS to | educate. --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-234-3453 | The World's End | Bedford, NY (1987-1988) SYSOP | Spell Binder SOFTWARE | Genesis Deluxe COMMENTS | "The original.

BBS COMMENTS | "I was the sysop to The Brewster BBS during my high | school and early college years. It started on a Radio | Shack TANDY 1000 with a internal 2400 baud modem and a | 10MB MFM Hard Card (hard disk on a ISA board -- no native | hard drive was offered). Overtime I upgraded to an | external US Robotics 9600 HST modem through the SYSOP | program (US Robotics put a name plate mounted to the | modem that it could not be resold). That was later | upgraded to 14.4K, 16.8K and 28.8K. It was operated | using Wildcat BBS 2.x single-line under MS-DOS 2.x and | 3.x, later used to DESQView to "multitask" and not take | it off-line when I used the computer. Then ran it under | OS/2 3.x after a computer upgrade and Wildcat BBS 3.x | multi-line (added second node 914-279-4987) this was very | stable and ran this way for a year or two. This system | had over 1.3GB of SCSI storage at the time which was very | rare when other large BBS had 300MB storage. Then I was | invited to join the Wildcat! Beta Team (we even had t- | shirts) for the Windows NT 3.1 version. It was a bumpy | ride but still impressive. I ran a 16-port Digiboard | with several lines. I gave a demo to a room of other | sysop's where with multiple users on-line and downloading | files I formatted a 1.44MB floppy drive and the UART | didn't drop a single character. This was so impressive | people's jaws dropped to the floor - floppy drive access | and modems were incompatible prior to this (even under | OS/2). [If you tried to use the floppy the modem would be | paused]. I was a member of FidoNet in 1:272/xx (not | positive of exact number). I also started my own network | called ICN (Interactive Communications Network) which | offer less red-tape then FidoNet. Grew to be | international (Canada and Europe) with nearly 80 nodes | but slowly fell apart during my college years. I offered | my users internet e-mail addresses and the BBS could be | reached via Telnet. I supported RIPTerm graphics (text | tags used to describe a graphical interface used before | HTML was available). By this time my bedroom had several | computers linked via LANTastic Ethernet BUS (remember | troubleshooting Ethernet terminators?) My skills running | my BBS helped land my first job during my senior year of | college with Prodigy & IBM in Yorktown, NY. They were | amazed I knew how to use edlin (single line text editor | in DOS) and troubleshoot IRQ conflicts between modems and | mouse. The networking skills learned in my bedroom BBS | setup helped land my second job with General Foods | (KRAFT) as a network admin (converted their network from | OS/2 1.x to Windows NT 3.1). I learned more practical | knowledge from running a BBS than I every learned from | college.

Thanks for including my BBS, who | knows maybe one day I will get the bug back and put it on | the web.

I also ran my site | on 914-528-3030 for about four years which was really an | echomail hub with Frontdoor but was set with everything | the same except for local messages. I still have my | entire BBS on tape including local & state wide bbs lists | as well as Fidonet, Adultnet, etc., echomail lists if you | are interested. Was great going through your list and | seeing a lot of the names. Wonder how many (like myself) | now have websites? Reminds me whats really missing from | the Internet!" - Paul Newman --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-737-2539 | The Final Encyclopedia, The Financial Encyclopedia | Peekskill, NY (1992-1995) SYSOP | Chris Peters --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-737-3848 | Obsessions BBS | Peekskill, NY (1994-1997) SYSOP | Lou Mauriello --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-737-6770 | Cutthroats | Peekskill, NY (1985) SOFTWARE | Mouse Exchange --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-737-7879 | Sunset Systems | Peekskill, NY (1990) SYSOP | Sean Heverin --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-737-7942 | Sunset Systems | Peekskill, NY (1989) SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-738-2109 | Elysium | Pelham, NY (1991-1993) SYSOP | Lodin SOFTWARE | Renegade --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-738-6857 | M & M's Pelham, M & M'S PELHAM PUBLIC, M&M Pel-HAM BBS | *W2MAC*, M&M Pel-HAM BBS *WA2TGO*, M&M's | Pelham BBS, M&M's Pelham Public, The M&M | Pelham BBS, The WECA BBS WB2ZII | Pelham, NY (1987-1998) SYSOP | Mike Ciferri, Eddie Maselli --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-738-7218 | Voyetra Technologies | Pelham, NY (1993) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-739-8274 | Laser | (1993-1994) SYSOP | Brian Sweeney --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-744-3520 | The Sportsman's Shack | Pine Bush, NY (1995) SYSOP | Gary Dykstra --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-744-5085 | Farby's Funhouse, Farbys Funhouse | Pine Bush, NY (1995-1997) SYSOP | Gary Farbman SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-744-5937 | Heidi's Hot Li, Heidi's Hot Line | Pine Bush, NY (1996-1999) SOFTWARE | TriBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-747-2694 | Nova Com | (1993-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-747-2836 | Seven Keys BBS, The Seven Keys BBS | Thornwood, NY (1993-1996) SYSOP | Jim Condon SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-752-7349 | Promethium, The Bard's Minstrel Lodge | Annandale, NY (1993-1995) SYSOP | Frederik Foure, Michaelian Ennis --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-752-7572 | Interzone BBS | Bard College (1993) SOFTWARE | HERMES --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-753-8241 | The Lanalyst's Asylum | (1992-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-754-7472 | Future DOMAIN, Future Domain BBS | Forestburgh, NY (1993-1998) SYSOP | Joseph Novak SOFTWARE | DarkStar --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-758-0918 | The Red Hook On-Line Bulletin Board | --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-758-2485 | Sun Vacations BBS | SYSOP | Michael V.

Funny to see my name on the list. I was | about 15 when I ran that site for a year, forgot the name | of the software I used, I think it was QuickBBS, a great | shareware program that was similar to TBBS if memory | serves me right. I ran it on a PC with (2) 20 meg hard | drive and a 2400BPS modem... How cool I thought I was and | what a system I thought I had. I was clued to the | Computer 12-18 hours a day. I think I spend more time on | my BBS setting things up then actually letting it run! | My first BBS experience was with another on the list, | M&M's in Pelham, NY...One of the first BBS in Westchester | county. I first logged onto that board with my 300BPS | modem that I got for x-mas...... What I thought I was | doing that x-mas morning as I connected to a ASCII text | welcome screen of a Christmas tree...I think the | asterisks actually blinked in color! I later spent a lot | of time on Joe Browns BBS in Mt. Vernon. Joe is a Ham | Radio Operator and Mike from M&M's Pelham (also a HAM) | both gave a young kid great guidance on how to run a | BBS.... I even got involved with FidoNet and other mail | systems... Our way of sending messages across the country | in 24hrs! Faster than the post office at the time, and a | precursor of E-Mail to come. Little did we know what was | to come. Back then my PC booted up quicker, we did | everything in DOS. Became the kings of .bat files and | ASCII files, and I hardly remember my system locking up | or having to reboot.....As for Viruses?????? never got | one.... We were the pioneers, blazing across the west on | Horseback, only to have trains, then cars, and eventually | planes pass us by. Eventually got the keys to a car at | 16 and gone was my lust for the BBS. Soon to follow was | the Internet when I turned 18 and found it to be a sneaky | way to do well in college! Now, the Internet is the | wild west, and is only limited by imagination. Back then | we had the imagination, just not the technology. I | wonder what we will think of the Internet now, in another | 15 years... Thanks so much for the memories!" - Vincent | Scaramuzzo --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-969-1266 | T.R.E.K. + BBS | Yonkers, NY (1993-1996) SYSOP | Steve Bowers --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-969-3213 | The Swamp of Illusion | Yonkers, NY (1994) SYSOP | Ben Hertzberg --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-985-7309 | The Sky And....Beyond | Grahamsville, NY (1995-1997) SYSOP | Steve Komorsky --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-986-9341 | The Mind of WEM BBS | (1993-1996) SYSOP | Bill Muller SOFTWARE | T.A.G. --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-993-6232 | The Virii BBS | Westchester County, NY --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 914-997-6018 | The PC Dimension BBS | White Plains, NY (1991-1994) SYSOP | Oswaldo Cerzon --------------+-----------------------------------------------------------
