CDS === Also listed as: Odyssey / ODYSSEY Online / Odyssey Online "I was the Sr Communications and Network Engineer at Odyssey Online between Jan 1992 and Dec 1996 (I was a user at Odyssey starting in early 1990). Odyssey Online was located in Monrovia, CA, not Long Beach, CA. It ran on a highly modified version of Major BBS v5 w/a custom setup of Major BBS v6 sub-systems for taking advantage of modern games at the time. In Feb 1994 we added a Full UUNet T1 connection to the Internet and using a Novell Unixware custom setup that tied into the main BBS system allowed telnet in, web site, and allowed dialup users to access the Internet via command-line and a strange SLIP software setup for "web" access. The owner of Odyssey Online was Michael Allen. Was globally dialup accessible via CompuServes x.25 dialup network, and at its peak could handle 256 online users including local s. cal, compuserve dialup, 800 # and telnet (starting in early 1994). Odyssey Online was still in operation through 1997 but it was moved from S. California to a company in San Francisco in early 1996, I was laid off in Dec 1996, and it was still in operation as a online services at least into late 1997 but I lost contact with the owners after that. Came in #8 on the BoardWatch reader voting in 1993." - Nevin Lyne Phone : 818-358-6968 Place : LONG BEACH, CA Years : 1989 - 1996 Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
