I was first licensed in 1968 as WN6DJK (Novice) but I was
a CB'er prior to that. My current call since 1979 is KA6HGT and
I am on just about everything except AMSAT. I ran a Synchronet
BBS about 1995 (v.220 DOS) called Highway-99 and just started
playing with this newer software a week ago, running it on my
10" Acer Netbook fulltime as GROUP WEST. I would be interested
in seeing how many old users are still out here. The "original"
Amateur Radio Net by Mark at Star Station BBS and myself. Later
it was carried by Frank (TommyKnocker) at the Talamasca BBS who
became the well known W6BBS. We networked this all via dialup
back then and it was a little bit costly, but it was well worth
every bit of the effort and expense. I am so happy to see all of
this still here!

I sure remember the old Dial-Up Days. I ran a dialup-bbs on the CoCo. back in 1986. I run my SBBS on Gentoo Linux. Nothing like what some of the sysops's out there have done but at least it isn't stock. Harder to configure for sure. Gives my LH3 netserver something to do. My callsign here in Boone, Iowa is KD0BVI. I hope to get the general class soon and change my ID to General BVI.. Do you use the IRLP or WINS system out there in CA? Our local Des Moines node has been down for months now. But they just put up a new Echolink repeater close to me in Fort Dodge. I have had a blast with the linked system out there in CA. That's whats cool about hamms, alot of them still into BBS's.
