Akron Connection
================

Also listed as: ECHO HUB 500

"I was the SysOp of this BBS. I run it non stop for 14 years.
Originally it was on an Atari 800, with an Hayes 300 baud modem.
At that time I was running a modified version of Amis BBS program.
The name was Atari Express, and remained that way for about 6
years. At that point I want to attract more than the dewindling
Atari userbase and decided to switch the name to Akron Connection
when I switched over to an Atari 520ST to run it on. I run
Michtron BBS software at that point with a 20 meg HD and supported
Atari 8bit, Atari 16bit, C64/128, Amiga, and of course IBM
compatables. Less than a year later I switched to a IBM clone and
become a beta tester for Tim Purves PC version of Michtron BBS.
Over the years I made many friends and met many people. Many are
friends to this day. One such friend is Don Crano. He was the
sysop of Rubber City Atari BBS. His BBS ran non stop for 1981
until 1997 I believe and was the oldest and longest running BBS in
our area. Because of our strong ties in the Atari community we
joined an Atari usergroup "Cuyahoga Vally Atari Users Group"
Eventually become President and Vice President of it and I also
was the newletter editor for many years. Well you have awakened
many memories of a great era, thanks and I'm looking forward to
reading your work." - Terry Russell
