Second Portal ============= "I started Second Portal as a hobby just to see how a BBS worked from the other side of things. I was totally hooked and loved maintaining it. Fidonet was a joy to be part of. Many of the things I learned about automation and system maintenance from Second Portal I apply today at my current job. Although it was a small BBS, we had a very large collection of door games enjoyed by many people. It's funny, but many people that used the board I later met inadvertently through some walk of life. I have even worked with a few of them and still work with one at my current job! :) The board was eventually shut down after I returned from a short lived attempt at college which I turned out not enjoying. I wanted my phone line for Internet access. Sorry guys! ;) I'm still into the same things, but now I'm a network engineering at Tellurian Networks working mainly with servers and routers and everything else you can possibly think of that an ISP has to do. I enjoy the latter more. I'm glad to have been part of some piece of the NJ BBS history! :)" - Vinny Abello Phone : 201-383-8684 Place : Newton, NJ Years : 1995 - 1997 Sysop : Vinny Abello Software: RemoteAccess Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
