Historical List of BBSes in the 979 Area Code --------------------------------------------- Created by TEXTFILES.COM From Many Sources 979-589-3704 | Brazos Valley Assistant, EDUNET BBS, Ten Forward BBS | (1983-2003) SYSOP | William Milberger --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 979-696-1931 | King's Mountain ][, The King's Mountain II | College Station, TX (1988-1991) SYSOP | Adam Burke SOFTWARE | Opus COMMENTS | "I started this BBS on an Osborne Executive (CP/M) | computer with a "SmartTEAM" 2400bps modem. It had 128k | of RAM and two 256k floppy drives. It did not have a | hard drive! The BBS at that time offered a few useful | CP/M utilities for download and a simple message area (no | "echo" mail). Sometime in '89, I moved the BBS over to an | IBM PS/2 computer running MS-DOS and Opus BBS software. | This computer had a 20MB hard drive and a 1.44M floppy. I | think the BBS offered an impressive amount of files for | download despite the limited storage. (I even stored | some downloadable files on the floppy. Speed didn't | matter; The floppy was still faster than the modem!) In | addition to files, I had online games, and (of course) | five or six echomail groups. I changed modems regularly | as technology improved. I remember spending $450 for a | USRobotics "Courier HST" modem. These were first capable | of 9600bps and then later versions supported 14.4kbps. | This was the most popular high speed modem at the time, | and both parties had to have a Courier HST modem to get | the higher speed connections." - Adam Burke --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 979-696-3600 | Brazos Valley Area, Brazos Valley HUB, Ziplog Public Port, | Ziplog Support Port | College Station, TX (1983-2013) SYSOP | Mike Luther SOFTWARE | Maximus --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 979-696-6352 | Brazos Valley Hub | College Station, TX (2013) SOFTWARE | Maximus --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 979-764-7268 | Dimensions of Chaos | College Station, Texas (1995-1998) SYSOP | Chaos 1/2 SOFTWARE | Renegade COMMENTS | "I was 14 years old when I started this BBS.
