Dungeons & Dragons BBS
======================

"Originally I started theis BBS on a Commodore 64 with a 300 Baud
Modem, 5 �" Disk Drive held the BBS and a 3�" Disk Drive ran the
files and message bases. Later I added a second 3 �" drive for
files and upgraded to a Commodore 128. In late 1989, I moved to an
IBM 386 DX33 and a 20 Megabyte MFM Hard Drive. I also upped to a
2400 Baud Modem. D&DBBS was screaming. :-) By the year of it's
demise, the BBS had it's own phone lines (2), two dedicated
machines (each with over 100 Megabytes of storage), and a user
base in the hundreds. There were people that called from all over
the country for my D&D related materials. I was one of the first
in north-western PA to be on the WWIV-NET network and recieved
message bases such as Star Trek, Dungeons & Dragons related
groups, and others... There were literally thousands of messages a
day coming in from all over the country. Originally I dialed out
once a day to Pittsburgh to a local hub to get all the messages.
Later there were other users in the "chain" so all our messages
were local calls. Oh, those were the days. Such fond memories.
Sorry to see them go. The BBS's had a much more "cultish" appeal
than the Internet and e-mail will ever have. I had made a lot of
friends over the years through that medium." - John Sanderbeck
