"Wow, first of all let me start off with thanking you for this
list, just reading through it has brought back some great
memories! We used to run Majorbbs with a 32 line license, though
we only had 8 data lines and one voice line in the office. We had
the primary line set as a hunt group (rollover) so as long as
there was an open line, everyone got in. In the first 2 months of
being open we had 450 active users. We also had a Nakamichi 6 disc
changer loaded with shareware, adult, and more files than I care
to remember. We had another line in West Haven and one more in New
Britain that were forwarded to the main number, so instead of
multiple nodes, we effectively made ourselves local to a large
portion of the state. 8 line teleconferencing, and later on we
subsribed to a national majorbbs link wich gave us internet email,
usenet, and about 200 boards to teleconference with. I haven't
been able to remember the name of the service for about 4 years
now, and can't get ahold of the other sysops, as time seperates
people. We ended up closing shop when people didn't feel like
paying for service, and we didn't feel like paying for 11 phone
lines and the service. The bills piled up like the national
library of congress. The final blow came when we attempted to go
from Majorbbs to Worldgroup, and the whole system crashed. We
couldn't access the backed up system that was on tape because
someone password protected it and forgot the password, and we just
threw in the towel. I can honestly say that we were in the right
place but the wrong time, because we had a lot of active users,
but internet access was just becoming available, and we couldn't
afford to provide it. Those were the happiest days of my life
then, reliving them through this list has made me weepy for
ancient technology, long nights, and caffeine. Keep up the good
work!"
