Telegard... I loved that BBS :)  The main board me and my co-sysop ran 
together was on Telegard then on Renegade.  I wish I still had a copy of 
that board, or the ANSI rather.. I spent HOURS on the graphics.  

And you're right, BBSes are like crack, once you get it in the blood, you'll 
be addicted for life :)
