Cola Net
========

Also listed as: Para-Soft / ParaSoft BBS

"This BBS started out as something to fill up spare time. It ran
on a case-less 8MHz 8088 motherboard with two 20-Meg drives
sitting on the desk beside it. Sometime around 1990, I wrote a
Fidonet interface for WWIV called "FourDog" (Four from the IV in
WWIV, and Dog from Fidonet.) This system became the hub of the
Columbia Fidonet for a number of years, and I acted as NC (Network
Coordinator) for much of that time. The FidoNet address was
376/12. Several of the local sysops started a sysops-users group
which would have occasional meetings, often at a local restaurant
or picnic shelter. This group was called CSA (Columbia Sysops
Assn.) There was a notable BBS in Columbia which is missing from
your list. This BBS was named The WordWorks. It was run by Wes
Ives (now deceased). This BBS had no downloads (aside from text
files), only discussion boards. It pre-dated my BBS by a number of
years, and, I think was running after I had shut mine down.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the phone number for the
WordWorks. If I run across an old BBS phone # list, I'll send you
another update for it." - Shay Walters
