Renegade Outpost I ================== "The software being used was MBSE under Linux (instead of writing my own), and had limited success with getting Fidonet to work reliably, in part, due to me not being able to monitor the machine for months at a time due to submarine deployments and the fact a calling card was used for the long distant phone connections. Due to no high speed internet service in the area at the time (besides ISDN), the site was never connected to the internet. The board had two 56k dail-in lines-- one primarily for FIDONET, and not available 24/7, the other line was up 24/7 till the BBS was shut down. The BBS was a failed attempt to resurrect BBSing after it's rapid demise in 1995. It used ANSI art for a Renegade-based BBS I was developing in 1994. The ANSI art was designed to load quickly on slow modems (I used a 2400 baud modem in the 1990s), and was hand coded to minimize color changes and extra codes added by TheDraw. It ran for about a year, and then shut down. I still use the BBS name for subdomain of my company website, outpost1.stellimare.com, which is used for non-business and more personal project. I just might resurrect it some day as a telnet/ssh BBS to show people learning about computers a part of history, and mostly for giggles... I might even add a dial-in line." - Douglas Moyes Phone : 360-373-9653 Place : BREMERTON, WA Years : 2002 Sysop : Douglas Moyes Software: MBSE Under Linux Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
