Digital Horizons BBS
====================

"I ran this BBS following the wildcat BBS (AOS) (617-323-3841).
The phone number listed here is actually for what was the second
node in the hunt group -- 323-3841 hunted down to this number.
While AOS was briefly a node on FidoNet, the capabilities of
Excalibur allowed me to provide Internet access (node 1 was dialin
for BBS, node 2 was dialed out to Concentric) in addition to the
local community. A funny story about this was that Boston had just
gone through some re-arrangement of it's 7/10 digit dialing and
area codes. Well, I had the second line hooked to CNC for an
entire month via what I thought was a local number. End of month
comes, and I get a bill from AT&T for nearly $2000! Remmber, like
many folks, I was just a high school kid, and I think my parents
still got the bill though it was my line -- and they freaked!
Somehow I straightened it all out with AT&T (and found a better
POP to dial into) but that was one of the more interesting
experiences I can remember. I actually really liked Excalibur and
even more so, O-M-N-I BBS -- while there is no beating Wildcat,
Renegade, etc., I think this next generation really was quite
impressive. Too bad things had gone completely internet by that
point. A strong negative I do remember was the 1-4MB client
downloads -- people hated that! Now AIM/MSN Messenger are at a
minimum that size :)" - Andrew Cencini
