I'm sure he doesn't remember me as I was just a kid with a PC at the time - but he was a great mentor to me with BBSs and Fidonet. Anyone know an e-mail address for him? I just wanted to say thanks to him some 25 years later. >>>> >>>> Regards, >>>> >>>> Joe. >>> >> Are any of the local BBS's online still?

Most numbers dead or rang busy. One - Kates Hideout - rang to a computer ... I kept trying to call, no luck. Finally a guy picks up very irritated and asks what I want. He was rather surprised that I was trying to dial into a BBS and told me the system was taken down many years ago, and I was calling his fax machine. Lol Dialing in via Terminal on actual hardware, DOS 6.2/Win 3.11 via a mid 90's Gateway 2000 machine - because why not? Seems like the local ones are dead, guess I'll try that site.
