The Wood Pile BBS ================= "I started my BBS in 1993 when I built a 486 computer with a 9600 modem. I upgraded my modem every time they came out with a faster one. My first software was a script in Telix which worked OK. It was hard to add games but I figured it out finally. I then switched to Wildcat software and things got much easier. I had every decent online game available set up and working. There were more than 110 working games and 7 CD's of files online. LORD was the most popular game and it was funny watching the player's strategy. I did not play, just watched. I then built a Pentium computer with Windoze 95 but could never get the new Wildcat Windoze version working. Years later I found out it was a bug in Windoze that caused the problems. Meanwhile, I had all maintenance functions automated so the BBS ran without my help. Because of this, I left it up. Finally turned off the computer in 2005 after being online with the SAME hard drive for 11 years and no failures. Can't beat Western Digital. I enjoyed running the BBS and I hope that others enjoyed it too." - Elwood Morgan Phone : 540-582-6015 Place : Spotsylvania, VA Years : 1993 - 2005 Sysop : Elwood Morgan Software: Wildcat!
