The Time Warp
=============

Wow - never expected to see it here. What a trip. Interesting
facts: * This BBS ran in my teenage bedroom on our second phone
line that I snaked around the outside of the house without my
parents knowing. * I had the wrong power adapter for the 19200
baud modem which caused it to run hot - so I took the cover off
and hung it out the window to keep it cool. * At one point the BBS
had over 30 online games, 12 download protocols, and four message
networks including WWIVnet. * Wayne Bell (the author of WWIV) is
the reason I learned to program in C at a young age. After
starting to hack on WWIV, I never went back to PASCAL. The Time
Warp enjoyed a brief revival in 1998 during my college years when
I found that my NCD 16e X-Terminal would connect telnets to the
administrative port through to it's serial port. I had a linux box
on SLIP to the campus network at the time so... I forwarded ports
on the campus host to my linux box, created a linux login that
would invisibly launch a hacked telnet to the X-terminal, which
patched through to a 386 with 20MB of memory running OS/2 Warp and
WWIV. WWIV was hacked to accept any character as a modem
connection. Later I added a second node (thanks to OS/2 and the
second serial port) through another PC. Multi-node WWIV! I posted
a few flyers and before I knew it, strange people were logging in
through my convoluted setup. It was short lived but fun." - Doug
