The Warped
==========

Also listed as: The Warped BBS / Warped

"I ran this board from a mishmash of home-made computers and
leftover parts from the ages of 13-17. The board started w/ a
386-DX40 and a 14.4k modem and ended up running NetWare Light and
Desqview over a coax network to a variety of cobbled up machines
and my pride and joy : an external Practical Peripherals 28.8 LCD
modem. I once bought a 500Mb drive for $1/MB ! I still have the
board running on a big full-tower machine in the closet that I
never turn on.
The board was a hub for many local boards on a variety of Networks
such as WWIVNet, ICENet, WWIVLink, WarpNet and others. I helped
start many local boards, setting people up with the WWIV source
code and a C compiler and showing them how to 'mod' it, and then
having them network to me. At peak usage The Warped had over 400
users, at least half of which were active. At the ripe age of 16 I
called up the cable company and got rights to run a 5-pair through
their conduit and then had the phone company drop me a few more
lines. A second phone line was added (510-906-WARP) for users who
donated and for network traffic when the main line was 95% busy
and would register 60+ calls a day." - Max Baker (Sir Real)
